India vs West Indies Live Score, 1st Test Day 2: WI hope for breakthrough with second new ball vs solid Jadeja and Jurel

India vs West Indies, 1st Test Day 2: India continued to dominate the West Indies in Ahmedabad. After bowling the visitors out for just 162 on Day 1, India built a strong reply. KL Rahul, who was unbeaten on 53 overnight, remained steady at the crease. Although India lost Yashasvi Jaiswal and debutant Sai Sudharsan early, Rahul and captain Shubman Gill – both familiar with this ground from the IPL – kept the innings under control. Dhruv Jurel, filling in for Rishabh Pant, impressed with a fluent half-century, helping India stay ahead despite a few setbacks around lunch.

India now trails by only 41 runs with 8 wickets still in hand, putting them in a strong position to build a big first-innings lead. The West Indies bowlers, including debutants and the promising Jayden Seales, struggled with the older ball. India’s deep batting lineup, with players like Washington Sundar coming in at number 8, adds to their advantage. While India has occasionally suffered middle-order collapses, they look focused under new coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Gill. With four home Tests lined up, the team is aiming for clean sweeps and a ruthless mindset, especially in the World Test Championship era.
