IND Vs WI, 2nd Test, Day 5: Gill Leads India To 2-0 Sweep In Maiden Series Win As Captain

India completed a 2-0 series sweep over West Indies, winning the second Test by seven wickets at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi. Chasing 121, KL Rahul anchored the innings with an unbeaten 58, while B Sai Sudharsan added 39, guiding captain Shubman Gill’s side to victory in 35.2 overs. This marked Shubman Gill’s first series win as India’s Test captain after drawing 2-2 in England. Kuldeep Yadav claimed eight wickets to earn Player of the Match, and Ravindra Jadeja’s all-round brilliance secured him Player of the Series. Despite centuries from John Campbell and Shai Hope, West Indies’ inexperience and a flat pitch limited their fight, while India strengthened their position at third on the WTC 2025-27 points table.
