Fans react as Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sai Sudharsan demolish West Indies bowling as India dominate day one of Delhi Test

India produces a near-perfect batting display on Day 1 of the second Test against the West Indies at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. Electing to bat first on a real surface, India ended the first day strongly at 318/2, powered by Yashasvi Jaiswalis undefeated 173 and Sai Sudharsan‘s made up 87. The duo shared a mammoth partnership of 193 for the second wicket, flattening a hapless West Indian bowling unit that toiled for long periods without much success. India’s dominant start has already put it in a dominant position in this five-day competition.

IND vs WI: Yashasvi Jaiswal’s marathon anchors India’s innings

Jaiswal once again proved why he is being hailed as India’s next big Test batting star. The left-hander showed supreme temperament and accuracy, converting his good start into an unbeaten 173 off 253 balls, laced with 22 boundaries. After a first partnership with Kl satisfiedJaiswal took charge after lunch, methodically breaking down the rhythm and spin. His control against the rotation of the left arm of Jomel Warrican And Khary Pierre was particularly impressive, playing late, spinning the shot effortlessly and leaping wide.

Reaching his century off 145 deliveries, Jaiswal accelerated as the day went on, punishing anything short or wide. His hunger for big runs was evident, with his 150 in 224 balls. Unfazed by the new ball late in the day, Jaiswal remained unbroken, guiding India past 300 with his captain. Shubman Gil at the other end. His innings was a blend of patience, power and balance, the mark of a top-order batter becoming a Test specialist.

If Jaiswal was the aggressor, Sudharsan played the perfect role, calm, compact and controlled. The Tamil Nadu youngster hit 87 off 165 balls, showing remarkable composure in his first major Test innings at home. Coming in after Rahul’s dismissal at 58, Sudharsan dug in and blunted the West Indian attack with precise footwork and a clear defensive plan. His 12 boundaries are a testament to his timing and placement, particularly when offside.

The two men’s stand not only saved India from early nerves but also completely deflated the visitors. Their alliance of 193, built with patience and precision, saw India go from 58/1 to 251/2 before Sudharsan was trapped in weight by Warrican. By stumps, the scoreboard read 318/2, with Gill steady on 20 and Jaiswal eyeing a double ton. For West Indies, Warrican’s two wickets were the only bright spot in an otherwise frustrating day where their bowlers failed to find rhythm or reverse swing. India, on the other hand, ended the day in complete control, ready to dictate terms ahead of Day 2.

Here’s how fans reacted:

Yet another big score from Yashasvi Jaiswal. This guy is the best left-handed opener in Test cricket at the moment. The numbers suggest so.
