India vs West Indies 2025, 2nd Test: Toss result and playing 11s, umpires list and pitch report

India are facing West Indies at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi in the second Test of the two-match series. The hosts won the first Test at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad by an innings and 140 runs inside three days. They will be favorites to clinch the series 2-0 without much trouble.

Batting first after winning the toss, West Indies folded up for 162 in 44.1 overs on Day 1. Mohammed Siraj starred with four wickets, while Jasprit Bumrah picked up three. In India's response, KL Rahul, Dhruv Jurel and Ravindra Jadeja got hundreds. Jadeja also starred with the ball, claiming 4-54.

Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill would be disappointed that he could not convert their starts into big scores. Also, Sai Sudharsan registered another low score at No. 3 in what has been a disappointing start to his Test career.

IND vs WI - 2nd Test Match Pitch report

"The pitch has some grassy areas to hold the surface together. There are some bald areas as well that should bring spinners into play. Don't expect a great deal of bounce. At one end, there is more consistent grass. So, one end may be for the seamers. At the other end, though, the surface may behave a little differently." - Deep Dasgupta and Ian Bishop
