India Vs West Indies LIVE Cricket Score, 2nd Test, Day 2: Captain Gill Smashes Fifty Against WI; IND 389/3 (103.1)

Nitish Reddy on fire! He starts with a huge SIX over long-on, crouching and launching Warrican’s flighted delivery into the stands. And he keeps the momentum, next ball, he drives it hard to deepish mid-off, but Phillip fumbles, letting it slip through his legs for FOUR. What a storming start from Reddy.

Gill is in imperious form this morning! Jayden Seales offers a slightly full delivery, and the Indian skipper doesn’t hesitate, he clips it crisply through midwicket, the ball racing to the fence. That’s FOUR and Gill’s second consecutive fifty.

After a cautious, defensive innings yesterday, he’s back with a flurry of boundaries, raising his bat to the roaring Delhi crowd. The captain is sending a clear message early on Day 2.

IND 371/3 (100.5)

Phillip opens up on Reddy, first ball, full and straight, no run. The next one’s short and high, Reddy sways away, and it’s called a wide.

Reddy off the mark in style. He swings hard at Seales’ pitched-up delivery, the outside edge flies past the diving second slip, and it races away to the fence. FOUR.

Gill keeps the scoreboard ticking. Anderson Phillip strays too wide, and Gill leans in to dispatch it through the covers. FOUR more, second boundary of the over.

New man in and straight into action. Nitish Kumar Reddy has faced just three balls and is already on FOUR, driving crisply through point. India’s back on the attack.

Big wicket for West Indies! Jayden Seales hurls one in, and Jaiswal is RUN OUT! Full delivery driven to mid-off, Jaiswal sets off immediately, but Gill wisely stays put. Too late, Jaiswal scrambles back, but Tevin Imlach is on the money, throws down the stumps. India cough up a huge wicket at 175/4 after 258 balls. Big moment, and Jaiswal looks annoyed with himself.

West Indies finish their huddle, Chase giving final instructions. Crowd cheers as Indian batters take the middle. Gill was all defense yesterday; will he change today? Second new ball in hand, can West Indies strike early? Anderson Phillip runs in over the wicket with two slips and a gully, Day 2 is underway.

Daren Ganga describes the track as looking like a 3rd or 4th-day pitch. Due to wear and tear, the surface is very dry but still good for batting. Spinners have an opportunity to exploit the rough areas, creating variable bounce, which could work in their favour if used wisely. The other end has more grass, so pacers can benefit from extra seam and pace. With a few bare patches, bowlers can expect some variability in bounce, making it a pitch that should keep both batsmen and bowlers engaged throughout the day.

IND vs WI Day 1 Highlights - India ended Day 1 in complete control at 318/2 after 90 overs, thanks to Yashasvi Jaiswal’s brilliant unbeaten 173. The young opener showcased remarkable composure, pacing his innings perfectly and frustrating the West Indies bowlers with his shot selection and patience.

Debutant Sai Sudharsan played a fluent 87, narrowly missing out on a maiden Test century, as the pair put together a vital 193-run partnership for the second wicket. KL Rahul contributed a promising 38 before Jomel Warrican struck to claim both early wickets.

Shubman Gill (20*) stayed unbeaten alongside Jaiswal as India closed the day strongly. On a low, slow pitch offering occasional turn, India’s batters capitalized on the conditions, leaving the visitors frustrated and well-placed to post a massive first-innings total on Day 2.
