1st Test: Centuries By Rahul, Jurel And Jadeja Take India To 448/5, Lead West Indies By 286 Runs
Narendra Modi Stadium: Riding on centuries from KL Rahul, Dhruv Jurel, and Ravindra Jadeja, India continued to pile the misery on the West Indies by reaching 448/5 in 128 overs and stretching their lead to a daunting 286 runs at stumps on Day Two at the Narendra Modi Stadium here on Friday.
With the West Indies struggling to make breakthroughs, India now hold a firm grip on the contest heading into Day Three. The final session belonged entirely to India, who added 122 runs in 32 overs, with Jurel bringing up his maiden Test century and Jadeja registering his sixth ton in the format.
The pair’s 206-run stand for the fifth wicket was the defining passage of play, and despite Jurel falling late in the day, edging a drive to the keeper off Khary Pierre for 125, Jadeja marched on to be unbeaten on 104 and will resume on Day Three alongside Washington Sundar, who’s not out on nine.
