India will head into the final day of the Delhi Test needing just 58 runs to seal a 2–0 series win. Ending Day 4 at 63/1, India remain in control, but West Indies’ spirited batting fightback has pushed the match into Day 5.
West Indies Fight Back Strong
Starting at 140/4, West Indies showed intent and patience through the day. Their middle order stood firm, stitched key partnerships, and kept the scoreboard ticking. They handled the Indian attack smartly, forcing the bowlers to work for every wicket.
Improved Temperament Pays Off
After a shaky start to the series, West Indies displayed better shot selection and calmness under pressure. Their collective effort took them to a strong 390, putting India back to bat again. The improvement in approach was clear and commendable.
Indian Bowlers Tested Hard
It was a long day for India’s bowlers. The spinners found little help from the pitch, while the pacers had to rely on accuracy to contain runs. Though India picked wickets at intervals, they struggled to finish the innings quickly, raising concerns ahead of tougher challenges.
Calm Response From India’s Openers
Chasing 121, India lost Yashasvi Jaiswal early. But Sai Sudharsan and KL Rahul steadied the innings with a composed partnership. Their sensible batting, focused strike rotation, and controlled approach helped India reach 63/1 at stumps.
Final Day Showdown Awaits
India need only 58 more runs with nine wickets in hand. They are clear favourites, yet West Indies will aim for early breakthroughs to make the final day competitive. Their fightback in Delhi shows renewed grit that was missing in Ahmedabad. For India, it’s all about wrapping up cleanly and sealing the 2–0 series win.
