2nd Test: Jadeja And Kuldeep Strike To Reduce West Indies To 140/4, Trail India By 378 Runs
Arun Jaitley Stadium: Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav picked up four wickets collectively as India tightened their grip in the second Test by reducing West Indies to 140/4 in 43 overs at stumps on day two, trail by 378 runs at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
Shai Hope remained unbeaten on 31 to offer some resistance for the visitors after Jadeja (3-37) and Kuldeep (1-45) struck in tandem to trigger a collapse, from 87/1 to 107/4. While West Indies showed more grit than they did in Ahmedabad, their innings was punctuated by lapses in concentration - errors that have repeatedly cost them in this series.
India’s dominance was set up by a commanding first-innings total of 518/5 declared, led by Shubman Gill’s unbeaten 129 and Yashasvi Jaiswal’s 175. With the pitch beginning to show signs of wear and India’s spin trio finding rhythm, the hosts will look to press home their advantage on day three.
