Dominant India Tightens Grip as West Indies Crumble on Day 3 in Delhi Test
On the third day of the second Test match in Delhi, India took the initiative as Kuldeep and Bumrah rapidly removed the West Indies top order, leaving the visitors in a difficult position.
India in Control on Day 3
The third day of the IND vs WI 2nd Test match in Delhi saw Team India extend its splendid performance thereby asserting its authority over the West Indies through a brilliant all-round display. The visitors were having a tough time at 142/4 against India's unyielding bowling led by Kuldeep Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah, who made significant breakthroughs.
Kuldeep’s Spin Web Traps Windies
Once more, left-arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav validates his position as India’s go-to spinner at home. Impatient that his variations and deceits kept the West Indies batters, he took wickets just at the point visitors seemed to get their groove on. Batting became nearly impossible due to the sharp turn and bounce off the Delhi pitch, and Kuldeep exploited the conditions to the fullest.
Bumrah’s Early Strikes Set the Tone
The Indian pace juggernaut just outran his opponents, as Jasprit Bumrah, who lost no time in dispatching the top order, and thus gave India the early start and momentum in the opening session. His accuracy, pace, and sharpness scared the West Indies openers and India were up and running in no time. Bumrah’s capability to get the ball to move off the pitch even when it’s slow wear his perfection and versatility in the subcontinent conditions.
Indian Batters Shine Earlier
At the start of the day, India racked up a huge first innings score courtesy of aggressive batting by Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill that laid down the foundation. Their partnership burdened the Windies bowlers and provided India with breathing space for the bowlers to go on the offensive.
West Indies’ Uphill Battle
The West Indies now have an incredibly tough time ahead if they are to avoid follow-on with the middle order thus unmasked. Only one such tormenting affiliation of batsmen, turning the tide against India’s grasp, politics to staging a miracle but with Ashwin yet to commence his long spells, seems it’s likely an uphill battle.
Delhi Crowd Witnesses Total Dominance
In fact, the Arun Jaitley Stadium witnessed sheer skill, precision, and domination as India headed for another home victory. As two complete days of the match remain, all indications point to a total Indian win in the IND vs WI confrontation.
