IND 448/5 in 128 Overs (Lead by 286 Runs) at Stumps | India vs West Indies Highlights of 1st Test 2025 Day 2: KL Rahul, Dhruv Jurel, Ravindra Jadeja's Centuries Power India to Dominant Position

Stumps! Day 2's play comes to an end and India are in a dominant position and are looking at a comfortable victory here. KL Rahul scored the first century of the day but got dismissed soon after. Shubman Gill perished playing an ugly shot. After that, it was all in control for Dhruv Jurel and Ravindra Jadeja who stitched a massive partnership and both scored centuries. Although Jurel was finally dismissed in the last few moments of the day, Jadeja stay unbeaten and India look at a massive total from here on. West Indies now need a miracle to save themselves. 

Hundred! Another one. This time by Ravindra Jadeja. Jadeja has really improved his batting performance in Test cricket and it reflected in the last series against England. Now, he steps up in the Indian conditions as well and brings up another century. Controlled and authoritative innings from Jadeja. 

Hundred! Dhruv Jurel puts the ball away to the boundary and his face explains the result. Jurel has reached his maiden Test hundred and he is elated. He has always shown sparks and the capability to score big in Test cricket and now when he has found the opportunity, he has stepped up. Batted methodically and showed presence to bring up his maiden Test century. 

Not much events in the last few overs. Dhruv Jurel and Ravindra Jadeja keep rotating the strike and ticking the scoreboard. India are progressing towards a massive lead and West Indies cannot do much here. 

India have completed 100 overs in their first innings, where they have already taken a 173-run lead. Dhruv Jurel is currently batting on 74, while Ravindra Jadeja is playing on  53, with both batters looking to convert their starts into hundreds. If Jurel gets to his hundred, this will be his maiden Test ton, bettering his 90-run knock against England last year.

Welcome back for the final session of play on Day 2 of the ongoing IND vs WI 2nd Test 2025. Both Dhruv Jurel and Ravindra Jadeja have added 111 runs for the fifth wicket, with the former looking well-set for his maiden Test ton, the latter wanting to convert his start into a massive innings. The West Indies have taken the new ball and will hope for inroads. 

FIFTY! This has been a chanceless innings from Ravindra Jadeja, who gets to his 28th Test half-century, taking just 75 balls. Jadeja has made his 50th Test in India even more special, reaching his personal milestone, which has seen the batter slam four sixes and three fours. 

India's lead is now touching 150, as Ravindra Jadeja and Dhruv Jurel take their partnership to 95 runs in 138 balls.  Jadeja is currently batting on 42, and is nearing his 28th half-century, while Dhruv Jurel is on course to slam his second Test ton.

FIFTY! Dhruv Jurel slams his second Test half-century as he brings out his 'Salute' celebration dedicated to his father. Jurel took merely 91 balls to reach his second Test fifty, which has been laced five fours and two sixes. Jurel has added 74 runs with Ravindra Jadeja for the fifth wicket. 

India's lead have managed to cross over 100 runs, with Drhuv Jurel and Ravindra Jadeja adding 56 runs for the fifth wicket, in merely 91 deliveries. West Indies, after picking the wicket of KL Rahul, have been unable to capitalise on the breakthrough, and have been giving away runs each over. 

Post KL Rahul's wicket, Dhruv Jurel and Ravindra Jadeja have snitched a solid 29-run stand, which has come in just 37 balls. Their stand has been taken, India's lead nearthe  100-run mark, as West Indies look for more wickets, with spinners bowling at both ends. 

OUT! The perfect start to the second session for West Indies, as the well-set KL Rahul departs for 100 in the first over post lunch. Justin Greaves, who has been tight with his line and lengths, gets a reward, as Rahul went for the expansive drive and perished at the extra-cover region.

The first session has been all about India, with KL Rahul reaching his second Test century on Indian soil, while achieving his 11th overall. Captain Shubman Gill, too, contributed with a solid 50,  but perished to opposition skipper Roston Chase. Thanks to KL Rahul and Gill, India have managed to gain a 56-run lead at lunch on Day 2.

100! This has been a top-notch innings from KL Rahul, who, apart from one false shot this morning, has been flawless and has showcased incredible composure during his 100-run knock. This is Rahul's 11th Test hundred, and second in India and against the West Indies as well. 

OUT! Finally West Indies have their first breakthrough of the day, as Shubman Gill just gifts his wickets after reaching his half-century. Gill went for the needless reverse sweep and hands a simple catch to Justin Greaves in the slips as Roston Chase gets his second wicket. Shubman Gill c Justin Greaves b Roston Chase 50(100)

FIFTY! Shubman Gill hits his eighth Test half-century. Gill has taken _ balls to reach his landmark, which has been laced with five fours. Ever since becoming India's Test captain, Gill has taken on the role quite fittingly, leading with the bat and as a leader. On the other hand, KL Rahul is also nearing his 11th Test ton. 

FOUR! What a crackling way to help India take the lead as Shubman Gill finally comes into his own on Day 2. Gill and KL Rahul have added 80 runs so far for the third wicket, as the latter nears his 11th Test ton. This is the 12th successive Test that India have taken a first innings lead against West Indies. 

So far, Indian batters, KL Rahul and Shubman Gill, have managed to score runs, while West Indies pacers have managed to keep things tight. KL Rahul has looked more comfortable in the middle, while Gill has struggled a bit to score off Jayden Seales, in particular. Both players have also notched up their 50 runs stand.

KL Rahul, who is resuming his innings on 53, will want to convert this start into a big hundred and kick off a jam-packed season on a positive note. Shubman Gill, on the other hand, will want to find his Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025 form and rewrite his home Test numbers. West Indies will hope to make early inroads, and delay the inevitable for as long as possible.
