India vs West Indies LIVE Score, 2nd Test Day 1: India is all set to play the second Test against West Indies at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. Shubman Gill and co have already won the first Test at Ahmedabad and now the black soil pitch in Delhi is expected to be more challenging for the Roston Chase’s team. The ball is likely to spin on the first day but for India they will look forward to clinch the series.
As the action unfolds in New Delhi, all eyes are on India’s young captain Shubman Gill, who leads a side in transition. With senior players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli stepping away from Test cricket, this match offers a glimpse into the future of Indian Test cricket. Stay tuned for live updates, scorecards, and post-match analysis.
Yashasvi Jaiswal now holds the record for the second-most Test centuries by an Indian before turning 24, with only the legendary Sachin Tendulkar ahead of him. Remarkably, he has surpassed the early career tallies of greats like Sunil Gavaskar, Rahul Dravid, and Virat Kohli, none of whom had scored as many Test hundreds at such a young age!
Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal has smashed a century in second Test.
Sai Sudharsan has slammed a half-century!
Sai Sudharsan has been performing well till now as he is contributing runs with the right pace. He is currently playing at the score of 36 while Jaiswal is batting at 72 and nearing century now.
Yashasvi Jaiswal has smashed half-century with India at 106-1.
Yashasvi Jaiswal starts the 2nd session with a bang and smashes a four.
India will be quite satisfied with their performance in the opening two hours. They’ve taken control early, dominating the first session and giving West Indies little to work with. KL Rahul looked in fine touch and was approaching his half-century before a sharp-turning delivery led to his stumping.
Yashasvi Jaiswal began cautiously but has since settled in for a composed and well-paced innings. Sai Sudharsan has also made a confident start to his Test outing.
IND 94/1 (28)
LUNCH! Team India is going strong and currently at 94/1.
Lunch on Day 1 is about 10 minutes away, and it's safe to say India have had the upper hand so far. Apart from the one standout delivery that spun sharply to dismiss KL Rahul, the hosts have looked largely comfortable against the West Indies attack on a turning surface at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
India is currently at 72/1 in 20 overs with only one wicket down.
Jomel Warrican made an immediate impact, striking with just his third delivery! The ball grips and turns sharply off the surface, catching KL Rahul off guard. Stepping forward to defend, Rahul is completely beaten by the spin and ends up getting stumped.
He walks back for 38, visibly stunned by the amount of turn on that delivery.
KL Rahul dances down the track and launches Khary Pierre over long-on for a towering six the first of the match! That one travelled 81 metres. A beautifully timed shot from the 33-year-old, but he got out after that.
Back of length and around off, Jaiswal gets behind the line and dabs into the deck.
Yashasvi Jaiswal - 10
KL Rahul - 19
KL Rahul was struck on the pads by Anderson Phillip, prompting a loud appeal, but the umpire shakes his head. West Indies opt for their first DRS review of the match. It's a tight call with "umpire's call" on both impact and wickets and Rahul stays at the crease.
Sunil Gavaskar couldn’t hide his surprise at the West Indies bowling strategy. “It’s already the sixth over and not a single bouncer has been bowled! Can someone explain why?” the legendary former India batter remarked during commentary.
KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal are going strong and building a steady partnership.
The legendary former spinner Anil Kumble rang the bell and match has started.

India has won the toss and opted to bat first.
India will be looking forward to secure their 10th successive win against West Indies.
After the dominant win in the first Test, it's understandable if Shubman Gill and Gautam Gambhir opt to stick with an unchanged playing XI. However, one player eagerly waiting for an opportunity is back-up wicketkeeper N Jagadeesan, who will be keen to earn his maiden Test cap. He could be considered as a replacement for the struggling Sai Sudharsan.
Hello and welcome to the Day 1 of second Test between India and West Indies. The match will be held at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi and the toss is scheduled at 9:00 AM IST.
