India Vs West Indies, 2nd Test Day 1: IND Reigns Supreme In Delhi, Jaiswal Shines With 173* 

India stamped their dominance on the opening day at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, finishing on a commanding 318-2 after 90 overs. Yashasvi Jaiswal was the star of the day, producing a magnificent unbeaten 173 off 253 balls, blending patience and flair to completely deflate the West Indies attack. Sai Sudharsan provided superb support with a fluent 87, narrowly missing out on a maiden Test century as the pair added a match-defining 193-run stand for the second wicket. Earlier, KL Rahul made a composed 38 before falling to Jomel Warrican, who also dismissed Sudharsan and was the pick of the Windies bowlers. Shubman Gill (20*) joined Jaiswal late in the day and ensured India stayed in control, ending without further damage. With every session firmly in India’s favour, the hosts will look to build on their advantage on Day 2, while West Indies search for early breakthroughs to stay in the contest.
