India Tighten Grip on Delhi Test After Gill’s 129* and 518-5 Declaration

West Indies closed day two on 140-4, 378 behind, with Ravindra Jadeja taking three wickets.

Overview

  • India declared at 518-5 in the second session, with captain Shubman Gill unbeaten on 129 after productive stands with Nitish Kumar Reddy and Dhruv Jurel.
  • West Indies reached 140-4 at stumps, offering more resistance than in Ahmedabad yet remaining well short on a pitch expected to bring spinners further into the game.
  • Ravindra Jadeja led the attack with figures of 3-37, and Kuldeep Yadav chipped in as sharp close-in fielding and disciplined spin sustained pressure.
  • Yashasvi Jaiswal was run out for 175 after a mix-up with Gill early on day two, later downplaying the incident by saying it was part of the game as social media debated the dismissal.
  • India lead the two-match series 1-0 and, after a timely declaration to maximize bowling time, are positioned to push for a 2-0 sweep.
