Gros Islet: After West Indies had put India on the back-foot by ripping off its top order, including KL Rahul, Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane and Rohit Sharma for just 126 runs, R Ashwin forged a fantastic 108-run sixth wicket partnership with Wridhiman Saha to rescue India on the first day of the thirds Test at the Darren Sammy National Cricket Stadium, Gros Islet on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Speaking about the day, KL Rahul, who had scored a half century, said, “I was pretty happy till I was batting. I wanted to put pressure on the bowlers and throw them off their lengths. I would have been happier had I got the three figure mark.” <\/p>\n
He added, “The boys carried on from there and pretty happy with how we finished. I just wanted to attack the bowlers and put pressure. I went up and over the infield as the pitch was damp. The first one hour was damp and the ball was doing a bit with sideways movement. Initially with the new ball, Joseph bowled well. It was a great achievement to get Virat as his first Test wicket. He put the ball in the right areas.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
