**New Delhi:** India is poised to secure their 10th consecutive Test series victory against the West Indies after dominating Day 3 of the second Test in Delhi. At the close of the final session, the West Indies stood at 65/2 in their second innings, trailing India by a daunting 205 runs and facing the prospect of an innings defeat.
The day began with Kuldeep Yadav dismantling the West Indies’ first innings, claiming a brilliant five-wicket haul and helping dismiss the visitors for 248. This marked a world record for Yadav, making him the left-arm chinaman bowler with the most five-wicket hauls in Test cricket. The West Indies’ score fell far short of India’s imposing first innings total of 518/5.
In the second innings, Mohammed Siraj struck early, removing opener Tagenarine Chanderpaul with a spectacular catch by captain Shubman Gill. Washington Sundar further compounded the West Indies’ woes by bowling Alick Athanaze, knocking over his stumps in his second over.
With two days remaining, India will be eager to wrap up the West Indies’ innings quickly and secure a comprehensive victory, solidifying their dominance over the Caribbean side in Test cricket.
