India Vs West Indies

India Test captain Shubman Gill on Tuesday said he does not hesitate in taking "bold decisions" to extract the best out of his players as he gets used to the highly-scrutinised role. Gill's first Test assignment as leader was the marquee five-match away series against England which was ended in a 2-2 draw, before he led the side to a 2-0 clean sweep over the West Indies following a seven-wicket win in the second match here on Tuesday. "I try to make the most probable decision in the given situation that we're in that game. And sometimes you have to take a little bit of bold decisions and that X factor depending on which player can get you certain runs or can get you those wickets," he said. "I would say I am kind of getting used to it, managing all the players in this side," the 26-year-old Gill answered when asked about his evolution as a leader. "I enjoy responsibility. I like to be the guy out there and I do it my way. Being involved in some of the key decisions is something tha

India, who enforced the follow-on on Day 3 after bowling West Indies out for 248, found themselves toiling for over 200 consecutive overs in the field

Yashasvi Jaiswal lost his wicket while trying to finish the game today itself while Sai Sudharshan and KL Rahul will come out tomorrow to finish the job for Team India.

Hope and Campbell turned things around with a superb century partnership, reducing the deficit to less than 100 runs as they head into Day 4, offering a glimmer of hope for the visitors in this Test.

John Campbell's century was the first Test hundred by a West Indies opener in any match since March 2023.

We thought the wicket would keep deteriorating. We felt that by the end of the day, it would be at its worst, says India assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate.

John Campbell and Shai Hope led a spirited West Indies fightback with an unbeaten century stand after India enforced the follow-on in the Delhi Test.

The charge stemmed from an incident in the 29th over of India's first innings, when Seales, after completing his follow-through, fielded the ball and threw it at batter Yashasvi Jaiswal

A century run-stand in the middle by Hope and Campbell has cut India's lead to less than 100 runs now as they would hope to continue the same on Day 4 tomorrow.

At stumps on Day 2, West Indies were 140/4, still trailing by 378 runs with a 3-fer by vice captain Ravindra Jadeja on the day.

India enforced the follow-on as expected in Delhi Test, it was the fifth time they have done so against the West Indies - each previous four occasion resulting in a victory by an innings margin.

WI lose 4 wickets as Team India would look to start Day 3 with quick wickets as the visitors trail by 378 runs now.

Shai Hope looked positive in his brief stay, while Tevin Imlach batted with composure as the day wound down. West Indies were at 140-4, trailing by 378 runs at stumps on Day 2

Gill's fifth Test ton in 2025 also places him alongside Virat Kohli, matching the former skipper's record for the most Test hundreds by an Indian captain in a single calendar year.

With conditions still favourable for batting and India in control, expect another absorbing day of Test cricket.

Gill, who was ball watching first, turned around and looked not interested, but it was too late for Jaiswal.

Five of Yashasvi Jaiswal's seven Test centuries have been 150 or more, and all three of his home hundreds have crossed that mark

Jaiswal's century on the day also saw him cross the 3000-run mark in cricket across formats for India.

Team India dominate on opening day as the score stands at 318/2 after 90 overs. Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal at the crease.
