NEW DELHI: After 64 years and 10 months, Team India broke a remarkable record in Test cricket. For the first time in over six decades, India recorded 50+ partnerships for each of the first five wickets in a Test innings. This elite feat had previously been achieved by India against England at Mumbai in 1993 and against Australia at Ahmedabad in 2023. On the other hand, the last time an opposition achieved this against West Indies was way back in 1960, when Australia did it in the tied Test at the Gabba. India captain Shubman Gill won the toss and chose to bat in the second Test against West Indies at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. Opener Yashasvi Jaiswal played a magnificent knock of 175, only falling to a run-out orchestrated by Chanderpaul and Tevin Imlach. KL
