Target Set! West Indies Bowled Out On 390, India Need 121 To Win Test Match
With just 121 runs to get, and a little over a day left in play, India look in prime position to win the second Test match against West Indies and clinch the series 2-0.
India have bowled out the West Indies on 390 runs on Day 4 of the seond IND vs WI Test match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, New Delhi.
Centuries from Yashasvi Jaiswal (175) and Shubman Gill (129*) allowed the home side to post a mammoth total of 518 on the board as they declared the innings early on Day 2.
The West Indies fought back after suffering a Follow-On imposition, and have now tasked India to score 121 runs to win, which shouldn't be too much of a challenge.
IND vs WI Test: West Indies Resilient Under Pressure
Trailing 518, West Indies were bowled out 248, and then asked to bat again as India imposed a Follow-On.
However, they showed a lot of grit in this inning, despite relatively early breakthroughs. John Campbell and Shai Hope combined for a 100+ run partnership, taking their score really close to India's total before bowing out.
Both hit centuries, Campbell 115 and Hope 103, but once they were gone, late on Day 4, it didn't take long for Shubman Gill's side to take over.
West Indies lost wickets quickly after the 84th over of the innings, but were able to set a 100+ run lead, thanks to Justin Greaves and Jayden Seales' partnership on the last wicket.
