WI vs IND: [WATCH] Ravichandran Ashwin Removes Tagenarine Chanderpaul With A Stunning Delivery

Veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin once again displayed his exceptional skill and dominance, particularly against left-handed batsmen, as he dismissed West Indies opener Tagenarine Chanderpaul during the ongoing first Test in Dominica on Wednesday.

Chanderpaul and Kraigg Brathwaite managed to survive the initial challenges posed by the Indian bowlers, but Ashwin’s expertise proved too much for the young left-handed batsman. Employing an around-the-wicket angle, Ashwin managed to make the ball deviate into Chanderpaul.

Despite Chanderpaul’s attempt to defend by moving forward, the ball maintained its line and dislodged the batsman’s stumps. Chanderpaul appeared stunned as he stared at his stumps, perplexed by how the ball managed to bypass his defence.

Ravichandran Ashwin once again demonstrated his importance to the Indian team in crucial moments. Although he was not included in India’s playing XI for the World Test Championship (WTC) final, he promptly made an impact in an away Test match when his team needed it the most.

While Mohammed Siraj and Jaydev Unadkat posed a few questions, it seemed like the West Indies openers Kraigg Brathwaite and Tagenarine Chanderpaul were off to a decent start after opting to bat first. However, Ashwin dismissed both openers through his exceptional spin bowling.

First, the experienced off-spinner bowled a remarkable delivery to dismiss Chanderpaul, and then he built pressure on Brathwaite at the other end. Feeling the need to release some pressure, the West Indies captain attempted a wild slog but could only manage to hit the ball straight up in the air. Rohit Sharma completed a simple catch at short covers.

India, having been asked to bowl first, will be reasonably satisfied with the way things have unfolded. They will be eager to claim at least one more West Indies wicket before heading for the lunch break.
