India Cruises to Victory, Closing in on Series Sweep
14 Oct
Summary
- Yashasvi Jaiswal falls early, but Sai Sudharsan and KL Rahul guide India
- West Indies fought back with last-wicket stand, but India remains in control
- Just 58 runs required on day five for India to secure 2-0 series win
On October 14th, 2025, India continued its pursuit of a 121-run target set by West Indies on day four of the ongoing Test match. The chase began brightly with Yashasvi Jaiswal scoring eight runs off Seales, including boundaries through the cover and third man regions. However, an ambitious attempt to hit a six off Jomel Warrican saw Jaiswal dismissed, caught at long-on.
Undeterred, B Sai Sudharsan and KL Rahul took charge, carefully rotating the strike and finding boundaries to guide India to 63/1 in 18 overs. Despite a slow pitch offering turn, both batsmen displayed calmness and precision, keeping India firmly in control of the situation.
Earlier, West Indies had fought back through a last-wicket stand of 79 runs between Greaves and Seales. This partnership had temporarily frustrated India's bowlers, with John Campbell and Shai Hope's centuries adding to the visitors' resilience. However, Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav were instrumental in ending the West Indies' resistance.
With just 58 runs required on the final day, India is well-placed to secure a 2-0 series sweep over West Indies, a testament to their dominant performance throughout the match.
