India will lock horns against the West Indies in the second Test of the series at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi from Friday. The home team had dominated the opening Test at Ahmedabad as they had registered a comprehensive innings and 140-run win.
India were able to tick all the right boxes with both bat and ball and they would look to continue their rich form. Yashasvi Jaiswal had failed to convert his start and he would be hungry to get a big score. Furthermore, Sai Sudharsan was dismissed after scoring only seven runs and he would want to deliver the goods at number three.
On the other hand, the West Indies had failed to challenge the Indian team in the series opener as they could not come up with a collective effort with the bat.
