India stamped their authority in the opening Test against West Indies, registering a thumping victory by an innings and 140 runs to take a commanding 1-0 lead in the two-match series. With the series already out of West Indies' reach, the two sides now gear up for the second and final Test. India skipper Shubman Gill won the toss and decided to bat first in New Delhi on the day.
The final clash will take place at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, scheduled to begin at 9:30 AM IST today. Given the proximity of India’s upcoming tour to Australia, the hosts may consider rotating a few players to manage workloads and test bench strength.
For West Indies, it has been a disappointing campaign so far. After a lacklustre performance in the first match, they will need a remarkable turnaround to pose any threat to the dominant Indian side in Delhi.
