India vs West Indies Cricket Match Live: Full Scorecard, Highlights & Top Performers

H2: IND vs WI 2nd Test Live Scorecard Snapshot India 0/0 after winning the toss and opting to bat first on Day 1 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, New Delhi. The hosts lead the two-match series 1-0. H2: Toss & Playing XIs Skipper Shubman Gill called correctly and chose to bat, backing a surface expected to slow down and aid spin from Day 3 onward. India: Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill (c), Dhruv Jurel (wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj. West Indies: John Campbell, Tagenarine Chanderpaul, Alick Athanaze, Shai Hope, Roston Chase (c), Tevin Imlach (wk), Justin Greaves, Jomel Warrican, Khary Pierre, Anderson Phillip, Jayden Seales. H3: Why the Toss Matters • Early morning moisture and a patchy wicket offer initial seam movement, but bare spots promise prodigious turn later, making first-innings runs gold dust. • India’s unchanged XI signals confidence in their five-bowler attack, spearheaded by Bumrah-Siraj. • West Indies bolster their bowling with Anderson Phillip alongside Jayden Seales, banking on reverse swing once the SG ball roughs up. H2: First-Session Talking Points • Gill and Jaiswal began cautiously against the new ball, surviving Seales’ probing corridor. • Rahul’s return to the top order adds experience against Roston Chase’s off-spin once field restrictions relax. • Windies will eye early breakthroughs to expose India’s inexperienced middle order featuring debutant Nitish Kumar Reddy. H2: Key Battles to Watch • Jasprit Bumrah vs Shai Hope – the in-form West Indian anchor must blunt India’s strike bowler under lights later in the day. • Kuldeep Yadav vs left-handers Campbell & Chanderpaul – chinaman turn vs opening grit. • Ravindra Jadeja vs Roston Chase – all-rounders who can swing momentum with bat and ball. H2: Pitch & Weather Report Delhi’s October nip gives pacers a brief window on Day 1 before temperatures rise to 31 °C. Expect variable bounce from session two; by Day 4 the surface should break and favour wrist-spin. H2: Series Context & WTC Points India lead 1-0 after an innings win in Ahmedabad and need another victory to cement a top-two spot in the 2025-27 World Test Championship cycle. West Indies search for their first Test win in India since 1994.
