After opting to bat first, India got off to a terrific start with Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul stitching a half-century opening stand. Rahul departed for a well-made 38. Jaiswal continued his onslaught with Sai Sudharsan in tow, as India went into lunch at 94/1 and 220/1 at tea.
After lunch, Jaiswal continued his onslaught as he brought up his half-century. He then went on to stitch a century stand with Sai Sudharsan for the second wicket. Jaiswal then raced past his seventh Test hundred, while Sudharsan hit his maiden Test fifty for India, but missed out on his maiden century after getting out on 87 runs. Later, captain Shubman Gill joined Jaiswal in the middle and both returned unbeaten at stumps with 318/2 on board.
On Day 2, Yashasvi Jaiswal got out early due to a horrific run out on 175. However, it was captain Shuibman Gill who carried on the momentum as he raced to yet another century, slamming 129. India declared at 518/2.
India got an early breakthrough as he took the wicket of John Campbell. After that Alick Athanaze and Tagenarine Chanderpaul frustrated the Indian bowling with a patent half-century stand. Jadeja then struck again as he removed Chanderpaul. After that West Indies lost two more quick wickets. West Indies ended Day 2 on 140/3, with a trail of 378 runs.
India are coming into this match on the back of a massive win in the first Test of the series by an innings and 140 runs, that too inside three days. The team will now look to win the match and thus pocket the series, inflicting a whitewash over West Indies. A win would be crucial for Shubman Gill, especially. If they win this Test, this will mark the first series win for Shubman Gill ever since he became the Test captain of the Indian team.
