India Preview

Team India recorded a rather easy win in the first test in Ahmedabad, and Shubman Gill looks to win his first Test series as captain with a win in Delhi. India might make some changes to their playing XI. They are expected to win the second test as well, and with the form they are in as a unit, they are expected to roll over this game.

• Key Batter: KL Rahul, Shubman Gill, and Ravindra Jadeja will be the ones to watch out for.
• Captaincy: Captain Gill is in red-hot form and slammed a fifty in the first game. He will look to make it even special and get a hundred here.
• Batting Strength: Rahul and Jaiswal make a solid opening duo. Gill, Jurel, and Jadeja are in good form. Then, India have proper batters until no. 8. That makes a solid batting unit for India from top to lower middle order.
• Bowling Attack: Bumrah and Siraj are a deadly combo with the fast balls. But mainly, India, with their spinners, are almost unbeatable on home soil.

West Indies Preview

West Indies have a lot of issues in their team. But mainly, their batters are not used to playing in such extreme spinning conditions. They failed badly in the first game. So, West Indies need a proper plan to tackle India, or else it will be another hammering for them.

• Batting: The batting is a big worry for West Indies, and they look like a below-average batting side against a quality bowling unit. Someone from the top order needs to play a big innings to give a team a solid platform.
• Bowling: The bowling unit for West Indies is decent with good spinners. But it is their pacers who need to take early wickets. If they can do it in both innings, they have a slight chance.

Match Details – India vs West Indies, 2nd Test

Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi Pitch and Weather Report

Arun Jaitley Stadium is one of the oldest cricket venues in India. It hosted multiple games across formats. The surface at this venue is generally batting-friendly and has very little help for the bowlers. But because this is a test in India, the surface is expected to deteriorate with time, and spinners are expected to dominate.

The weather will be clear for the coming days in Delhi. The temperature during the scheduled days will be between 28°C and 30°C with sunny conditions and a humidity around 75-80 percent.

Key Players to Watch Out in India vs West Indies Match

Top Batters

• Shubman Gill (IND): Shubman Gill had a decent first game and had a fifty. He will be looking to take this to another level and score a century.

West Indies have been poor in this format for almost 3-4 years now. They have not been competitive at all. Even the conditions in India are very difficult for any visiting sides. India have a strong unit as per these conditions, and they are expected to register an easy win here in Delhi.
