"To be honest, the Indian bowlers didn't give us anything. They were very disciplined the way they bowled. They attacked the stumps. When you go out there, you have to work very hard to get some runs. I backed myself and took my chance early," Samuels told reporters.
"When you come to India, you want to score at least 400 in your first innings. That sets up the Test match. But when you get bowled out on the first day after winning the toss, you'll be very disappointed.
"It's something to discuss when you go back to the dressing room. But the runs are on the board already. It's for us to go out there and defend it as a team."
