The Test series opener between Shubman Gill-led India and Roston Chase-led West Indies is currently underway at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Thursday, October 2.
In India's previous Test series in England, Jasprit Bumrah made himself available only in three out of five Test matches, and in his absence, Mohammed Siraj was asked to lead the Indian bowling unit against England.
Meanwhile, the best of Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj together was seen in the ongoing match against the West Indies in Ahmedabad. Both the pacers were breathing fire after India were invited to bowl first, and their dominant performances saw India bundling out West Indies for 162 in 44.1 overs.
However, Jasprit Bumrah surprised everyone with his act in the same over because he bowled the last three deliveries to Jayden Seales outside off-stump. The premier pacer purposely bowled such deliveries because he wanted to give Mohammed Siraj a shot at picking up a 5-wicket haul.
However, Siraj was unable to do that in the next two overs he bowled and was restricted to just four wickets as the left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav dismissed Warrican on the first ball of the 45th over to wrap up the innings.

"They were discussing whether you'll take 5 wickets or I'll take 5 wickets. Bumrah said, no problem, I've just played the Asia Cup, you take 5 wickets."
He was resting when he hadn't played for the Asia Cup since the England tour - Aakash Chopra
"He hasn't played cricket for two months. He was resting when he hadn't played for the Asia Cup since the England tour. That's why he was given an extra over. He was given a bigger spell. You can never question how much effort he's putting in. He runs very fast. Whatever it is, he tries to give it all. And if there's a little help in the pitch, sometimes you get the support of luck.
"And after that, the ball that came in, whether it was going away to the lefty or this ball, once again, the ball came in after hitting. He's not a swing bowler. He's a seam bowler. And he uses the scrambled seam very well. Brandon King gave him a little more support. You could see the off stump when he left the ball. He left the ball with his feet straight. This, of course, was another full ball. It went out a little. There wasn't much need for it. Alik hit it with a loose hand. And he was caught. It was a good catch in the slip."
