IND vs WI Highlights, 2nd Test Day 1: Yashasvi Jaiswal unbeaten at 173 as IND stamp authority with 318/2 at stumps
- IND vs WI Highlights, IND vs WI 2nd Test Day 1: Yashasvi Jaiswal remained unbeaten on 173 as India asserted complete control, finishing the day at 318/2 at stumps.
IND vs WI Highlights, IND vs WI 2nd Test Day 1: Opener Yashasvi Jaiswal powered his seventh Test century as India took firm control on the opening day of the second Test against the West Indies. Electing to bat after winning the toss, India finished at 318 for two, with Jaiswal unbeaten on 173 off 253 deliveries at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. At close of play, skipper Shubman Gill was giving Jaiswal company on 20....Read More
Sai Sudharsan fell short of his maiden century, scoring 87 before being dismissed by spinner Warrican, who claimed his second wicket of the innings, briefly halting India’s momentum. India were in total control of the match heading into the evening session, with Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sai Sudharsan's partnership setting the stage for a massive total. Sudharsan gets some much-needed runs under his belt with some question marks beginning to pop up, while Yashasvi Jaiswal registers his seventh Test match century with a phenomenally built innings in Delhi.
After six consecutive tosses lost, Shubman Gill finally has that box ticked in his young Test captaincy career. Has the coin flip go his way, and chooses to bat first in Delhi. No changes for India, but a couple for the Windies.
India made very quick work of the West Indies in the first Test match, and a clean sweep is very much on the cards as the second Test match begins at New Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium. It should be business as usual: India were completely dominant in all phases of the game, bowling out the Windies twice with absolutely no problems, and not being bothered much by a bowling attack that simply didn’t have the firepower to put any sort of stress on a batting unit which contributed three centuries.
As far as the West Indies are concerned, the key for them will be to simply make this some sort of a contest when play begins in Delhi. The batting will have the most question marks, as the top order completely fell apart on the mornings of both Days 1 and 3 last time out. The batters simply didn’t give the bowlers anything to work with, and the Windies will want to ensure they put out at least one or two innings of competitive cricket as they leave following this match. Setting the tone early will be key, whether that be with bat or with ball in hand, but that is easier asked than delivered for a team which has now succumbed to four consecutive losses in Test matches.
For India, it should be fairly straightforward. At the moment, there is a big gap in the kind of talent they have at their disposal and what their visitors have been able to put together in their squad. It is more about ironing out the chinks, by getting Yashasvi Jaiswal back amongst the runs, Sai Sudharsan trying to cement his spot at number three by finding some sort of form and getting the monkey off his back, Nitish Kumar Reddy getting the chance for significant playing time in either department of his all-round game, and the bowlers all trying to get amongst the wickets.
The Delhi pitch is expected to be slightly less conducive to pace than the Ahmedabad wicket, and early reports suggested a relatively flat and batting-friendly pitch. The Kotla turf has never been one for the searing fast bowlers, and how the spinners operate will therefore hold importance. India already have three sensational options at their disposal, with Axar Patel, who plies his trade at this venue in the IPL, also waiting in the wings. The Windies need one of their options to really step up in this particular department. Their coaches have already demanded that the effort and work that goes on behind the scenes be ramped up and put to display on the pitch, and it is the bare minimum that is required of them over this weekend. Giant-slaying comes later – giving a good account of themselves instead of folding quietly will be step number one.

“But I think that's the challenge, to be able to play all the formats for India, and I want to play all the formats and succeed in all the formats for the country, and win ICC titles.

The number three slot is up for grabs, as mentioned, and Jurel will know that the weight of runs lower down the order is the only way in which he can make an argument to take that role as a pure batter when future series roll around.

Reddy's potential is high, but he does need consistent time in the middle without being shoved into high-pressure situations with the task of rescuing the innings on his hands. Just to gain a firmer idea of Nitish as a Test cricketer, India might be inclined to give him more time in the middle.

He is still missing the sort of big score or signature innings to make that position his own, and such a performance will be essential if he wants to keep the pressure off him and nail down that position.

India have a very strong record at this venue, the Arun Jaitley stadium, going back nearly 40 years: in 24 matches over that time frame, they have won 12 times, and not lost once. In a city that has already begun to cool, it should present a good balance between bat and ball when play begins today.
