Team India ended their first innings on a massive 518 for 5 against the West Indies on the second day of the ongoing Test match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, New Delhi. The home side’s dominance was built around Yashasvi Jaiswal’s brilliant 175 and captain Shubman Gill’s unbeaten 129. The duo combined for a record-breaking stand that left the visitors struggling to find answers.
India declared late in the day to give their bowlers enough time to attack before stumps, and the decision paid off as the West Indies lost four quick wickets for 140. Spinner Ravindra Jadeja was the star with three wickets, tightening India’s grip on the contest. The visitors now face a steep uphill battle to avoid an innings defeat as India eye a clean 2–0 sweep in the series.
