India Vs West Indies Live Cricket Score, 2nd Test, Day 3: Kuldeep Removes Imlach; WI 165/6 (54)

Kuldeep Yadav strikes again as Tevin Imlach’s resistance comes to an end. A flighted leg-spinner traps Imlach on the front pad around the knee-roll, and Dinesh Karthik dives to take a sharp catch at short leg. Umpire Richard Illingworth raises his finger, and Imlach, in disbelief, takes a review, but UltraEdge confirms no inside edge, and ball-tracking shows three reds.

West Indies lose Imlach for 21 off 67 balls, burning a review in the process, as Kuldeep removes both overnight batters in consecutive overs.

Bumrah keeps Tevin Imlach on his toes at the crease. A slower off-cutter sees Imlach press forward in defence, then a short ball is punched to backward point, and finally, a rising in-angling bouncer forces him to duck, yet the scoreboard remains untouched.

Sai Sudharsan is sitting out today as a precaution after the impact injury he suffered on Day 2 while going for a catch. He’s doing fine, and the BCCI medical team is keeping a close watch, with no serious concerns.

WI 152/4 (47)

India vs West Indies, 2nd Test, Day 3: Spin takes center stage as Kuldeep Yadav opens the day. The West Indies batters walk out under the bright sun, with a slip and short leg ready. Shai Hope tries to settle, defending back to the bowler and leaning into a drive, but NKR’s diving stop at mid-off keeps the scoreboard quiet. The day’s intensity is already building.

Here are some unmissable stats from day 2 -

Gill Matches Kohli's Calendar Record

Shubman Gill's unbeaten 129 not out brought him level with former captain Virat Kohli's tally of five for most Test centuries as a captain in a calendar year. Kohli achieved it twice, in 2017 and 2018. With five centuries in 12 innings as captain, Gill is the third quickest to the mark, after Alastair Cook (nine) and Sunil Gavaskar (10).

Jaiswal On The Path Of Greatness

The 23-year-old Yashasvi Jaiswal, who scored 175, now has five 150-plus scores. Only Aussie great Don Bradman (8) had more such scores before turning 24. Jaiswal's seven centuries in his 26-match Test career are also the joint-most by an opener before turning 24.
