India Playing XI vs West Indies – 2nd Test, West Indies tour of India 2025:

Editorials: KL Rahul, Yashavi Jaiswal

India will want to repeat the performance the team showed in the first Test against West Indies in the next match as well, in a bid to seal another series on home soil.

The home team looked like a complete unit with both bat and ball, and on the field, with almost every player playing their part, and they are expected to do the same in the match scheduled to be played in Delhi.

Your daily dose of cricket!

The opening duo of KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal continued the good work they did in the Test series against England and put together a strong partnership for the first wicket, with KL Rahul scoring a century.

This was Rahul’s second Test at home after nearly a decade, when he fell short of a Test hundred against England.

Jaiswal, on the other hand, started cautiously and changed gears after the run, only to get out in an attempt to keep the run rate high.

KL Rahul wants to build on his match-winning century when he steps out to bat in the second Test, while Jaiswal wants to turn the start he got into a big score.

Middle-order batsmen and all-rounders: Sai Sudharshan, Shubman Gill (c), Dhruv Gurriel (wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, Nitish Kumar Reddy

The opening pair would follow a middle order who also took advantage and scored superbly against the Windies’ inexperienced bowling line-up.

The run-fest by KL Rahul was started by Shubman Gill, who scored his maiden half-century as India captain in home Test matches, Dhruv Jurel, who scored his maiden Test hundred, and Ravindra Jadeja, who also scored a century.

The only player who will be disappointed among the three is Gll, as he failed to convert his half-century into a big score which he would have set his eyes on in the next match.

Amidst all the moments to be cherished, Sai Sudharshan’s form was something the team management would have taken note of as the left-hander struggled to rotate the batting after India’s good start, and was eventually dismissed by Roston Chase.

The hosts hope that he will get a big result in the next match to gain confidence in the upcoming matches.

Players: Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj

As far as the bowling department is concerned, he is expected to do his job again, as he did in the first match.

The onus will be on Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah to pick up wickets with the new ball and make things easier for the spinners.

India are expected to use the same spin bowling line-up of Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav and Washington Sundar, and will rely on them to do what the three do best, which is to pick the wicket when the ball gets soft.

Ravindra Jadeja had a good Test match with the ball as well and fulfilled his role as a senior player in the team to the best of his abilities, and he will look to carry that form into the next match with the support of Kuldeep and Washington.
