Overview

  • India declared at 518-5 after Yashasvi Jaiswal top-scored with 175 and captain Shubman Gill finished unbeaten on 129.
  • West Indies closed day two on 140-4, trailing by 378, with Ravindra Jadeja leading India’s attack at 3-37 and Shai Hope unbeaten on 31.
  • Jaiswal was run out early on day two following a mix-up with Gill, a dismissal he later downplayed by saying it was part of the game.
  • Gill registered his 10th Test hundred and fifth as captain in 12 innings, a rapid mark noted in records tracking, and shared key stands with Nitish Kumar Reddy (43) and Dhruv Jurel (44).
  • Left-arm spinner Jomel Warrican was West Indies’ most effective bowler with 3-98, while India’s fielding featured a reflex short-leg catch that removed John Campbell.
