India enjoyed another successful day on Day 2 of the Test match, as they built a substantial lead of 162 runs with eight wickets in hand. Although both Rohit and Gill were dismissed in quick succession, Kohli entered the crease and stabilized the innings. Meanwhile, Jaiswal remained unbeaten and inched closer to a remarkable 150 runs.
The West Indies faced a major setback when their potent bowler Rakheem Cornwall was unable to continue due to an injury. As a result, they had to rely on other bowlers who posed less of a threat. India’s objective for Day 3 will be to extend their lead in the first innings as much as possible, ensuring they won’t have to bat again in this match.
