India Completes 2-0 Test Series Sweep Over West Indies

In a commanding performance, India defeated the West Indies by seven wickets in the second and final Test at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Tuesday, October 14, 2025.

This victory secured a 2-0 series sweep for India, following their innings-and-40-run triumph in the first Test in Ahmedabad.

Rahul’s Unbeaten 58 Guides India to Victory

Resuming Day 5 with 63/1 and needing 58 runs to win, India reached 124/3 in 35.2 overs. KL Rahul anchored the chase with an unbeaten 58, supported by Sai Sudharsan’s 39. The pair added 54 runs for the second wicket, demonstrating composure and tactical acumen. Roston Chase was the pick of the West Indies bowlers, claiming both wickets to fall on the final day.

Kuldeep Yadav Shines with Eight-Wicket Match Haul

Kuldeep Yadav was named Player of the Match for his outstanding bowling performance. He took eight wickets across both innings, exploiting the dry conditions and low bounce to dismantle the West Indies batting lineup. His efforts were instrumental in India’s dominance throughout the series.

Gill’s First Series Win as Captain

This series marked Shubman Gill’s first Test series victory as captain. He expressed growing confidence in his leadership role, stating he is “kind of getting used to it.” Gill’s tactical decisions and support for his teammates were pivotal in India’s success.

India’s victory propelled them to 52 points in the World Test Championship standings, maintaining their position behind Australia and Sri Lanka.

India’s comprehensive series win reinforces their status as a dominant force in Test cricket, especially on home soil. The team’s all-round performance, led by key players like Rahul, Yadav, and Gill, sets a strong foundation for upcoming challenges in the World Test Championship cycle.
