IND vs WI
India began the opening day of the second Test against West Indies on the back foot after losing the toss for the sixth straight time in Test matches. However, what followed was a clinical all-round performance that firmly put the hosts in the driver’s seat.
On a surface that offered consistent bounce and little movement, India’s pace spearhead Mohammad Siraj produced a brilliant opening spell. He struck twice early to rattle the West Indies top order, reducing the visitors to 42 for 4 within the first hour. The collapse continued throughout the morning as the West Indies failed to recover, eventually being bowled out for just 162. Justin Greaves was the only batter to offer some resistance, top-scoring with a gritty 32, but lacked support from the other end.
In response, India’s top order showed intent and composure. KL Rahul led the way with a fluent, unbeaten half-century, his 19th in Test cricket, displaying excellent shot selection and timing. Yashasvi Jaiswal looked in supreme touch during his 36-run knock but gifted his wicket after a promising start. Debutant Sai Sudharsan, however, struggled throughout his brief stay and was dismissed for 7 by Roston Chase.
Shubman Gill, coming off a prolific series in England where he scored four centuries, looked calm and in control at the crease. India ended the day just 41 runs behind the West Indies’ first innings total, with seven wickets still in hand and a strong batting line-up to come.
With the pitch continuing to dry out and offering good conditions for batting, India are well placed to build a commanding lead on Day 2. Play resumes at 9:30 AM IST, and all eyes will be on how big India can bat from here.
