India in Control of the West Indies Test Series
The ongoing India vs West Indies Test has showcased India’s relentless dominance despite a challenging pitch. After posting 518 for 5 declared in the first innings, India enforced the follow-on midway through the match. Though the visitors showed rare resilience, led by John Campbell’s 115 and Shai Hope’s 103, India’s bowlers held firm. Eventually, West Indies were bowled out for 390, setting India a target of just 121 runs.
Bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah (3/44) and Kuldeep Yadav (3/104) ensured the West Indies resistance did not last long. The pair struck crucial blows after the second new ball, turning a promising 293 for 4 into a collapse at 311 for 9. Despite a late fightback from Justin Greaves (50)* and Jayden Seales, India’s advantage remained unshaken.
Nerveless Bowling from Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav
As the ball aged, the surface turned flat, demanding patience from the Indian attack. Still, Kuldeep Yadav’s spin and Bumrah’s pace found breakthroughs at critical moments. Hope’s dismissal off Siraj opened the gates for India, while Kuldeep’s quick strikes dismantled the lower order. His control over flight and variation once again underlined India’s spin depth.
With Bumrah cleaning up the tail, India wrapped up the innings and entered the chase with complete confidence. The West Indies’ lower order held up longer than expected, but the deficit was too large to threaten India’s supremacy.

India Set to Seal the 2-0 Sweep
Chasing 121, Yashasvi Jaiswal started aggressively but fell early to Jomel Warrican. The Indian batters then chose a cautious approach, deciding to finish the job on Day 5. With 58 runs remaining, victory seems inevitable for the hosts.
The final day now looks like a formality as India aims to complete the 2-0 series sweep against West Indies. The consistency of India’s top order and the brilliance of their bowlers continue to define this series — another display of dominance in Test cricket.
