IND vs WI 2nd Test live streaming: Day 1 full scorecard, session report

Led by Roston Chase, the visitors will look to show more resilience, with senior players like Chase and Shai Hope needing to lead by example.

India began Day 1 of the second Test against the West Indies with intent and control, reaching 94 for 1 at lunch at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Friday. What started as a steady morning of disciplined batting was jolted by a moment of brilliance from Jomel Warrican, whose sharp turner sent KL Rahul back just as he looked set for something special.

Rahul’s fluent touch, undone by a freak ball

 

KL Rahul was in imperious touch — compact, confident, and beautifully in rhythm. Every shot he played oozed assurance, from the crisp drives to the late cuts. When he danced down the track to Khary Pierre, lifting him over deep mid-wicket for a majestic six, it looked like he was in for a big one.

 

But cricket, as ever, had other plans. Warrican, sensing Rahul’s intent, adjusted his length ever so slightly. The ball gripped, turned, and leapt — enough to beat the outside edge as Rahul prodded half-forward. Tevin Imlach did the rest with quick hands behind the stumps. Rahul walked off for 38, a picture of disbelief and frustration, knowing he had let a near-perfect start slip away.

 

His innings, though brief, had class written all over it. A back-foot punch through the covers off Jayden Seales was among the shots of the morning — crisp, effortless, and commanding. With five fours and a six to his name, Rahul’s departure left India on 58 for 1 after a near-flawless opening stand.

 

Jaiswal’s maturity anchors India

 

At the other end, Yashasvi Jaiswal looked a picture of calm composure. After a rare failure in Ahmedabad, the left-hander seemed intent on making a statement. Compact in defence and precise in judgment, Jaiswal batted with clarity and poise, leaving balls outside off and waiting patiently for the right ones to put away.

 

A deft steer between gully and point hinted at his growing maturity, while a straight drive off Anderson Phillip drew gasps from the crowd — all timing, no power.

 

Unlike his typical counterattacking self, Jaiswal was content to bide his time early on. But once his eye was in, the aggression surfaced. His sweeping assault on Roston Chase, a full-blooded connection that raced to the fence, stood out as the shot of the session. At lunch, he remained unbeaten on 40, looking solid and assured.

 

Sudharsan’s confident strokes

 

Making the most of his early time in the middle, Sai Sudharsan added quiet composure at the other end. His three elegant boundaries — an eye-catching on-drive and a perfectly timed square cut among them — showed a player comfortable at this level.

 

Though still new to the rigours of Test cricket, Sudharsan’s technique and temperament added to India’s confidence as they built on a strong foundation.

 

Pitch plays fair — for now

 

The Delhi surface looked good for batting through the morning, offering just enough bounce for the pacers and mild turn for the spinners. However, with the onset of winter in the capital, the first hour had a hint of nip, something India’s quicks will look to exploit later.

 

As the match progresses, the pitch is expected to wear and aid spin — meaning the first-innings total could prove crucial.

 

At lunch, India’s approach was measured but promising — a blend of caution and class. With Jaiswal and Sudharsan looking settled, the home side will aim to build on the strong start and turn it into a commanding position as the day unfolds. 

 

India skipper Shubman Gill has won the toss and elected to bat first on the day  Both captains after the toss:

Roston Chase - We were batting first as well, the pitch looks dry, so not too worried. Obviously, we had some meetings and we had some deep discussions as batters. And something that came up in meetings, we want to really try to bat the whole day and bat 90 overs. That's something that we're really looking forward to doing.  I just think we need to stay positive, in the present, and just play every ball on merit and not worry about what's happened before. Yeah, two changes from the King out and Johann Layne out, Tevim Imlach in and Anderson Phillip in. Just take that Anderson Phillip with the new ball, he's a good new ball bowler. We think we need to strike early with the new ball. And also - Imlach - he's a good player of spin coming from Guyana and used to these kind of low turning tracks. So we think he'll be a good fit for this wicket.  

Shubman Gill - We will bat first, the wicket looks good to bat on Day 1. Consistency is the key for us. To be able to repeat performances and to be able to have the same intensity in every match that we play. Something that we often speak about and that's what we are trying to look for in this test match as well. Honestly, not much. I am still the same person but definitely have more responsibilities now. But I like responsibilities and a very exciting future for me (on being elevated across all formats). We have got the same team.
