Ahmedabad: Opener KL Rahul struck a fine half-century to help India reach 121 for 2 in reply to West Indies’ first innings total of 162 on the opening day of the first Test here on Thursday.

At stumps, India were trailing West Indies by 41 runs with eight wickets in hand.

After bowling out the visitors for a paltry total in just 44.1 overs, opener Yashasvi Jaiswal (36) and Rahul (53 not out) stitched together a 68-run stand for the opening wicket before the former was dismissed.

India then lost Sai Sudharsan (7) cheaply before Rahul and skipper Shubman Gill (18 not out) batted out the remaining overs.
