Shubman Gill’s spectacular catch eliminates Tagenarine Chanderpaul on day three

One of the highlights of the third day came early in West Indies’ second innings when Indian captain Gill took an exceptional catch that put the visitors on the back foot again. On delivery by Mohammed Siraj in the 9th, Chanderpaul attempted a shot but missed the ball. Positioned at mid-wicket, Gill ran to his right and dove low to take a very low catch, sliding across the ground to secure the dismissal.

The moment was met with jubilant celebrations from Siraj and the Indian team as it was a maiden breakthrough for India. Chanderpaul scored 10 runs from 30 balls before his dismissal, struggling to adjust to the cross-court toss which led to poor execution of the shot. This catch was not only a display of quick reflexes, but also a pivotal moment that cemented India’s control of the match.

India imposes follow-up after clinical bowling demonstration

After their dominant first innings, the Indian bowlers rallied to dismantle the West Indies batting line-up. Kuldeep Yadav was the top performer with a five-wicket haul, taking 5 for 82 as the West Indies innings collapsed under pressure. Ravindra Jadeja well supported with three wickets, while Jasprit Bumrah and Siraj contributed with one wicket each. The visitors, who resumed day three with an overnight stand of 140/4, were unable to build lasting partnerships to challenge India’s imposing total.

West Indies were bundled out for 248 in 81.5 overs, leaving a deficit of 270 runs. This substantial gap led India to enforce the follow-up, forcing the West Indies to fight again immediately and without delay. In the second round, despite a cautious start from the first players John Campbell And Alick ATHANISEthe visitors found themselves at 53/2 at the close of the second session, still trailing India by 217 runs.

India’s strategic application of tracking and relentless bowling pressure left the West Indies facing an uphill and uphill battle to save the Test. The Delhi pitch, conducive to both spin and Seam Bowling, has been ably exploited by the home bowlers, and with a strong batting line-up still to come, India are well placed to clinch a series victory.
