West Indies had no magic in the second innings either, scoring only 146, before getting all out. As things stand, if India wins or draws the second Test, they win the ongoing series; if West Indies wins, the series ends in a draw.

Arun Jaitley Stadium Pitch Report

The surface of the Arun Jaitley Stadium pitch is one with a black-soil base. This makes it a batting-friendly wicket in the initial stages of the game, with good bounce, and the ball carries well too. However, beyond Day 3, the surface tends to deteriorate, and the spinners are expected to be gamechangers from that phase.
