IND vs WI Highlights, 1st Test Match Day 2: India 448/5 at stumps on Day 2, lead WI by 286 runs

IND vs WI Live Score, 1st Test Match Day 2: India firmly established control on day two of the first Test against West Indies in Ahmedabad, with Dhruv Jurel and Ravindra Jadeja hitting aggressive centuries to push the team into a 286-run lead. KL Rahul had set the stage with his 11th Test century before Jurel, who made 125, and Jadeja, unbeaten on 104, took over with a 206-run partnership, dominating the opposition bowlers. India closed the day at 448/5, with Jadeja batting alongside fellow left-hander Washington Sundar on nine.

Jurel’s maiden Test hundred came off West Indies captain Roston Chase, featuring 15 fours and three sixes, and included a memorable army-style tribute with his bat. He was eventually dismissed by debutant spinner Khary Pierre. Jadeja plundered six fours and five sixes, celebrating with his iconic sword gesture to the fans. Both batters wore down the West Indies attack on a deteriorating pitch, capitalising on the absence of key pacers Alzarri Joseph and Shamar Joseph.

Rahul, who started the day on 53, reached his hundred in the morning session, sharing a 98-run partnership with Shubman Gill, who made 50 before being dismissed to Chase. Rahul’s innings included a lucky reprieve on 57 but featured regular boundaries showcasing his timing and technique.

With three centurions and a massive lead, India are in total control. The West Indies, depleted and struggling, face a huge challenge on a difficult surface, leaving India strong favourites to seal a 1-0 series advantage in what has been a dominant display by the hosts.
