  • Shubman Gill completed his 10th Test hundred and fifth as captain, finishing unbeaten on 129 to steer India’s total.
  • India declared at 518-5 on Day 2 in Delhi, with Nitish Kumar Reddy and Dhruv Jurel adding brisk forties to extend the advantage.
  • West Indies were 26-1 at tea in reply, losing John Campbell to a reflex catch by B Sai Sudharsan and trailing by 492.
