The ongoing first Test between India and the West Indies at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad has been a one-sided affair in India’s favour. While the hosts are inching towards a commanding victory, an on-field moment grabbed attention. On Day 3, captain Shubman Gill and batter KL Rahul broke into an impromptu dance while fielding in the slip cordon.

During the first session of Day 3, as Jasprit Bumrah prepared to bowl his next delivery, Gill was seen showing a dance step to Rahul. The latter instantly copied the move. The short clip of their dance quickly went viral on social media.

Gill, captaining India for the first time in a home Test, looked clinical with his decisions. Meanwhile, Rahul smashed a century in the first innings, making it his first Test ton on home soil since 2016. It was also his 11th Test ton and 10th as an opener, pushing him past Rohit Sharma and Gautam Gambhir on the all-time list of Indian openers with the most Test centuries.

Earlier on Day 3, India declared their first innings at 448/5; thanks to centuries from Rahul (100), Dhruv Jurel (125), and Ravindra Jadeja (104*). Gill also chipped in with a 50. For Gill, his fifty made him only the sixth Indian captain to score 50-plus on Test captaincy debut at home, placing him alongside legends such as Lala Amarnath and Sunil Gavaskar.

On the other hand, the West Indies have struggled against India’s bowling attack. Bundled out for just 162 in the first innings, they were forced to follow on. Mohammed Siraj’s fiery spells earned him four wickets, while Jasprit Bumrah (3/42) and Kuldeep Yadav (2/25) kept the visitors under pressure.

In the second innings, it was Jadeja who ran through the middle order with three quick wickets. Siraj added another burst, dismissing Justin Greaves and Jomel Warrican in quick succession. With a deficit of more than 150 runs still to cover and only a wicket in hand, the tourists are moving towards an innings defeat.
