2nd Test: Reifer Admits Tough Day For West Indies, Praises Jaiswal’s Composed Century
Arun Jaitley Stadium: West Indies assistant coach Floyd Reifer acknowledged that his team faced a challenging first day of the second and final Test against India at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Meanwhile, Reifer, a former West Indies captain, commended Yashasvi Jaiswal for scoring an unbeaten 173, which helped the hosts reach 318/2 at stumps.
On a typical slow Kotla pitch, the West Indies bowled with discipline in patches, conceding no extras all day and maintaining an excellent over rate. But that wasn’t enough for any bowler other than spinner Jomel Warrican to be among the wicket-takers in 90 overs on Day 1. With India firmly in control, the West Indies will need a disciplined effort on day two to fight their way back into the contest.
“Indeed, a difficult day. Obviously, if you come to India, you need luck in the games. Today was a tough day at the office for everyone. I thought that Jaiswal batted well. Obviously, he managed to be not out, so he played really well. But for games like that, where you come to India and you need to pick wickets, it's the opportunity for our bowlers.”
