Shubman Gill-led Indian team won the second Test against West Indies in Delhi by seven wickets, inflicting a series whitewash on the visitors. After crushing them in Ahmedabad, the hosts won the second match on the final day at the Arun Jaitley Stadium to make it two wins in as many matches. With this win, India also strengthened their chances of staying in contention for a top-two finish on the current World Test Championship (WTC) standings. Still third on the list after second-place Sri Lanka (66.67 PCT) and table toppers Australia (100 PCT), Team India’s PCT now reads 61.90.
