IND vs WI highlights, 2nd Test Match Day 2: West Indies 140/4 at stumps, trail by 378 runs in Delhi

Hosts India put themselves firmly in control of the second Test, reducing West Indies to 140 for four at stumps on day two after posting a massive first-innings total of 518 for five declared.

Spinners Ravindra Jadeja (3/37) and Kuldeep Yadav (1/45) led the charge, triggering a top-order collapse and keeping the visitors under constant pressure. The duo accounted for four wickets between them, leaving West Indies trailing by 378 runs with Shai Hope (31 not out) and Tevin Imlach (14 not out) at the crease.

Earlier, India’s first innings was powered by stellar contributions from Yashasvi Jaiswal, who scored 175 off 258 balls, and captain Shubman Gill, who remained unbeaten on 129 off 196 deliveries. Their partnership set the tone for a commanding position, giving India the upper hand as the match heads into day three.

West Indies have finally offered some resistance against India, scoring 114 runs and losing three wickets in 32 overs. They still trail by 378 runs, but their batting showed patience and grit, exactly what Test cricket demands under pressure. While they might be bowled out around 200-250, there are positives to take. India, batting on a good surface, will be satisfied so far and will look to assert further control with early wickets on Day 3.

Welcome back!

The third and final session is underway.

Alick Athanaze and Tagenarine Chanderpaul are in the middle.

Washington Sundar will start the proceedings for India.

After 64 years and 10 months, Team India has etched a remarkable record in Test cricket. For the first time in over six decades, India registered 50+ partnerships for each of the first five wickets in a Test innings.

This rare achievement was previously accomplished by India against England at Mumbai in 1993 and Australia at Ahmedabad in 2023. Meanwhile, the last time an opposition managed this against the West Indies was Australia in the tied Test at the Gabba in 1960.

In the second Test against West Indies at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, India captain Shubman Gill won the toss and opted to bat. Opener Yashasvi Jaiswal played a brilliant 175, only falling to a run-out involving Chanderpaul and Tevin Imlach. KL Rahul added 38, while Sai Sudharsan narrowly missed out on a century, scoring 87. Anchoring the innings, Shubman Gill scored an unbeaten 129, marking his 10th Test century.

This commanding batting effort came after India’s dominant win in the first Test at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, where they triumphed by an innings and 140 runs to take a 1-0 lead in the two-match series.

Looking at the broader statistics, there have been 25 Test centuries in the last 14 India vs West Indies Tests since 2013, with 23 from Indian batters. Roston Chase remains the only West Indies player to reach three figures in this span, doing so twice.

That's TEA on Day 2

WEST INDIES 26/1, trail by 492 runs

WICKET!

Ravindra Jadeja strikes, John Campbell falls for 10 runs. What a bizarre dismissal! Campbell tried a slog sweep off a ball just outside off, and it seemed like a simple shot. Sai Sudharsan, ducking for cover, barely managed to hold onto the ball as it bounced off his helmet, chest, and hands. Somehow, he clutched it securely, giving India the opening wicket. Campbell looked stunned. Sai is getting some medical attention.

India declare after a commanding batting display.

Yashasvi Jaiswal led the charge with 175 before his innings was cut short by a run-out.

Shubman Gill (129*), who had been cautious yesterday, batted fluently to register his 10th Test century.

Sai Sudharsan narrowly missed his maiden hundred by 13 runs, while Nitish Kumar Reddy (43) and Dhruv Jurel (44) added brisk contributions, helping India surpass the 500-run mark.

Bowled!! Roston Chase's delivery comes flat and straight at the stumps. Dhruv Jurel leans into a big swing, trying to clear the line, but misses completely and the stumps are rattled. In his attempt for a big shot, Jurel falls just short of a fifty, finishing on 44 off 79 balls with five fours.

India declare their first innings at 518/5 (134.2 overs)

Shubman Gill (127*) scores 2 runs to bring up 100-run partnership for the fifth wicket with Dhruv Jurel (44*).

With plenty of width, he uses his quick reflexes to cut the ball elegantly through backward point. Anderson reacts swiftly, diving to his left in the deep to stop the ball and limit the scoring, saving a couple of runs. The effort brings up a well-earned hundred-run partnership.

India 516/4 in 133.4 overs

4 0 4 0 4 0 - Shubman Gill (122*) is in a different mood after reaching his hundred and is dealing in boundaries now. He smashes three off Khary Pierre in the over to collect 12 runs in it. And during the onslaught, India crossed the 500 mark too.

Captain Gill registers his 10th Test hundred, fifth as India captain.

After a cautious approach yesterday, the elegant right-hander has unleashed his natural stroke play today. Gill drives Pierrie crisply past cover, forcing the fielder to dive and only manage a half-stop to reach the milestone.

Celebrating the milestone, Gill lifts his cap to the roaring Delhi crowd and shares a warm hug with batting partner Dhruv Jurel. It’s been a near-perfect innings, blending patience with aggression, showcasing why Gill remains a pillar of India’s batting lineup.

India 485/4 in 129.5 overs

Nitish Reddy, promoted up the order, survived a reprieve on 20 but was dismissed seven runs short of his fifty.

While West Indies conceded runs, they also created more chances than yesterday.

BANG! Dhruv Jurel opens his boundary count with a four off Justin Greaves.

Short and angled in, Jurel swivels to pull it behind square, generating enough power to beat Anderson Phillip, who was coming across from fine leg. Phillip should have done better, but he’s had a rough day in the field.

BIG WICKET! Jomel Warrican strikes again, dismisses Nitish Kumar Reddy (43)

India 415/3 in 107.5 overs

Nitish Kumar Reddy (39*) is dealing in sixes now. He hits Jomel Warrican for another maximum, and takes a single after that to bring up 400 for India.

SIX! Warrican overpitches, leaving the ball in the perfect slot. Nitish gets under it, frees his hands, and hammers it flat over long-on for a powerful boundary.

India 400/3 in 104.4 overs

BOOM! Nitish Kumar Reddy (31*) smokes Jomel Warrican for a six and four off consecutive deliveries.

SIX! Nitish had been itching to take on Warrican. After surviving a close call and finding the fielders with a few mistimed drives, he finally connects cleanly — crouches low, gets under the flighted delivery, and lofts it majestically over long-on for a towering hit.

FOUR! A floated delivery outside off, and Nitish drills a crisp drive toward deepish mid-off. Phillip fumbles, shifting to his left and letting the ball slip through his legs — a costly misfield.

India 389/3 in 102.5 overs

BOOM! Shubman Gill smokes Justin Greaves for a big six over mid-wicket.

Wow! Gill dances down the track, shuffling across to target the leg side. Greaves takes the pace off, but the Indian skipper is ready — gets under it perfectly and uses his bottom hand to launch it over deep midwicket. Clean strike, straight off the middle of the bat.

Nitish Kumar Reddy survives!

Tossed up and full from Jomel Warrican, Nitish Reddy, on 20, goes hard at the drive but hits it in the air — straight to mid-off. Anderson Phillip drops a sitter as he gets down on his knees. A real reprieve for the batter.

FOUR! Captain Shubman Gill brings up his fifty, off 95 balls, with a four off Jayden Seales.

Back-to-back fifties for Gill. Seales overpitches slightly, and Gill leans in to clip it elegantly through midwicket — pure timing as the ball races to the fence.

The Delhi crowd erupts as Gill raises his bat to acknowledge another fine half-century. After a cautious approach last evening, the Indian captain has come out with intent this morning, peppering the boundary with a flurry of strokes.

India 371/3 in 99.4 overs

Boundaries are coming thick and fast for India this morning. Nitish Kumar Reddy gets his third four of the innings.

India 353/3 in 96.1 overs

Three fours since the fall of Yashasvi Jaiswal for India. Nitish Kumar Reddy opened his account with a four off Jayden Seales, while Shubman Gill (33*) hit two boundaries off Anderson Phillip in the next over.
