India vs West Indies 2nd Test highlights, Day 5: Opener KL Rahul struck an unbeaten half-century as India defeated the West Indies by seven wickets in the second Test on the fifth and final day to complete a clean sweep of the two-match series on Tuesday. Resuming at the overnight score of 63/1, India scored the remaining 58 runs to overhaul the 121-run target in 35.2 overs. Rahul struck 58 not out off 108 balls and shared a 79-run second-wicket partnership with Sai Sudharsan (39 off 76 balls).

Spinners will play a big role on day 4 as the bounce on the pitch has become lower. The Indian pacers will also aim to make most of the footholes early in the innings.
John Campbell and Shai Hope became the first West Indies pair to survive an entire session against India since 2016. Nine years back, Roston Chase and Jason Holder batted 19 overs in the final session to salvage a draw in Kingston.
It might have taken West Indies 18 sessions, but they have finally showed some fight in this Test series. After the first Test was completed within three days, the Indians once again dominated the first eight sessions in the second game, before John Campbell and Shai Hope came together to stage a comeback. Coming together at 35/2, the West Indies duo counter-punched to reach 173/2 at stumps. West Indies are still trailing India by 97 runs.
Hello and welcome on Day 4 of the second and final Test between India and West Indies in New Delhi.
