The cricket world is buzzing with excitement as India takes on the West Indies in the second Test match! But here's where it gets controversial—India's decision to enforce the follow-on has sparked debates.
Day 3, 2nd Test:
India's Dominance:
- India's bowlers have been on fire! Kuldeep Yadav, the left-arm chinaman, has etched his name in history by becoming the fastest chinaman bowler to take five five-wicket hauls in Tests. He now shares the record with England's Johnny Wardle.
- Ravindra Jadeja, with his 33rd wicket at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, surpassed Kapil Dev to become India's third-highest wicket-taker in Tests in Delhi.
- Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah also contributed with crucial wickets, putting India in a commanding position.
West Indies' Fight:
- The West Indies, led by Tagenarine Chanderpaul and John Campbell, are not going down without a fight. Chanderpaul, son of WI legend Shivnarine Chanderpaul, is looking to make a statement in his second innings.
- Despite the massive deficit, the visitors showed resilience, with Khary Pierre and Anderson Phillip forming a crucial partnership.
Controversial Decision:
India's decision to enforce the follow-on has raised eyebrows. With a lead of 270 runs, some argue it was a strategic move to put the West Indies under immense pressure. Others believe it could backfire, giving the visitors a chance to bounce back. What's your take on this bold move?
Key Moments:
- Kuldeep Yadav's five-wicket haul, including the dismissal of Jayden Seales, bundled out the West Indies for 248.
- Yashasvi Jaiswal's unlucky run-out for 175, missing out on a double-century, was a heart-wrenching moment.
- Shai Hope's partnership with Tevin Imlach kept the West Indies in the game, but Kuldeep's spin magic broke their resistance.
