Kuldeep Yadav opened his wicket tally by dismissing Alick Athanaze on Day 2 of the ongoing second Test between India and the West Indies at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Saturday, October 11. Athanaze departed for 41 runs on the next ball he faced after being hit on the helmet by Jasprit Bumrah, as the tourists lost their third wicket for 106.

The dismissal came in the 33rd over of the West Indies’ first innings. Kuldeep bowled a tossed-up delivery on off, and Athanaze fell in the trap. The left-hander went for a big slog-sweep, and the ball dipped onto him, and there was no height. Ravindra Jadeja safely pouched it at mid-wicket.

Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav impress after Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill in IND vs WI 2nd Test

A clinical bowling display from Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav helped India dominate the West Indies in the second Test on Day 2. Jadeja took three wickets, including John Campbell, Tagenarine Chanderpaul, and skipper Roston Chase.

At the time of writing, WI were 107/4 after 34 overs, with Shai Hope and wicketkeeper-batter Tevin Imlach at the crease.

Batting first, India declared at 518/5 in their first innings. Yashasvi Jaiswal starred with the bat, scoring 175 runs off 258 balls, in an innings laced with 22 boundaries. Meanwhile, skipper Shubman Gill led from the front, scoring an unbeaten 129 off 196 deliveries with the help of two sixes and 16 boundaries.

Sai Sudharsan missed out on a well-deserved century, managing 87 off 165 balls. Meanwhile, Dhruv Jurel, Nitish Reddy, and KL Rahul contributed 44, 43, and 38, respectively. Jomel Warrican bagged three wickets for the tourists.

The hosts are leading the two-match series against the West Indies by 1-0, thanks to an innings and 140-run victory in the first game in Ahmedabad. A series win would help them continue their 100 percent win record against WI since 2002. The Men in Blue haven't lost a single Test at home against WI since the 1994/95 series.
