India’s cricket team delivered a commanding performance on Day 2 of the second Test against the West Indies at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, finishing the day with a colossal lead of 286 runs. After bundling out the visitors for just 162 in their first innings, India piled on the runs, reaching 448/5 by stumps, with Ravindra Jadeja unbeaten on a patient 104 and Washington Sundar not out on 9.
Match Highlights
West Indies’ Struggles ContinueOpting to bat first, the West Indies were dismissed for 162 in just 44.1 overs, failing to build any substantial partnerships against a disciplined Indian bowling attack. The visitors’ decision to bat first backfired spectacularly, as their batsmen struggled to cope with the Indian spinners and seamers on a pitch offering some assistance.
India’s Batting DominanceIndia’s reply was emphatic. The top order laid a solid foundation, but it was Ravindra Jadeja’s unbeaten century that stole the show. His 104 off 176 balls, including six fours and five sixes, showcased both patience and aggression, anchoring the innings after a couple of quick wickets. Washington Sundar provided steady company at the other end as India extended their lead beyond 250, putting the match firmly out of West Indies’ reach.
Bowling EffortsFor the West Indies, left-arm spinner Jomel Warrican was the most successful bowler, finishing with 1/102 from 29 overs, while Khary Pierre managed 1/91 from his 29 overs. The lack of penetration from the West Indies attack allowed India to dictate terms throughout the day.
What This Means for the Series
With two days still to play, India are in a virtually unassailable position. The West Indies will need a miraculous turnaround to avoid a heavy defeat, while India will look to press home their advantage and secure a 2-0 series lead. The performance underscores India’s depth in both batting and bowling, even as they rotate their squad and test younger players.
Expert Commentary
“India’s dominance at home is no surprise, but the manner in which they’ve dismantled the West Indies here is a statement of intent,” says a veteran cricket analyst. “Jadeja’s century was a masterclass in playing the situation—he accelerated when needed and held the innings together when wickets fell. The West Indies, meanwhile, look short of ideas and confidence, especially against spin.”
Looking Ahead
The third day’s play will likely see India declare early and put the West Indies under pressure once again. For the visitors, the focus will be on survival and perhaps salvaging some pride. For India, it’s another step toward consolidating their position at the top of the Test rankings.
