While the pitch had a lot of green cover in the lead-up to the Test, a lot of it was shaved off, but still provided enough assistance with the new ball

Star India pacer Mohammed Siraj, who devastated the West Indies batting lineup with a four-wicket haul on the opening day of the Test on Thursday, said that he was overjoyed to bowl on a green-top wicket after a long break.
Siraj, who had played a pivotal role in India drawing the Test series against England 2-2, resumed from where he had left off two months back by returning figures of 4-40 on a lively pitch to help dismiss the West Indies for 162 in 44.1 overs.
