The Boss all-rounder: Jadeja spins a web over Windies after heroics with bat | Watch

Ravindra Jadeja was on fire this morning as he continued his brilliant bowling spell, claiming the wicket of Shai Hope for just one run. Jadeja bowled a sharp short ball, tempting Hope into a big shot, but the West Indies batter mistimed the hit. The ball soared into the air, where Yashasvi Jaiswal dived forward to complete a spectacular catch. This wicket marked the fifth loss for the West Indies before the lunch interval.

Adding to the pressure on the visitors, Kuldeep Yadav joined the wicket-taking party by bowling out West Indies captain Roston Chase for a mere one run. Jadeja also claimed two other wickets, dismissing Brandon King and John Campbell. Alongside the two spinners, pacer Mohammed Siraj provided India with another breakthrough by removing Tagenarine Chanderpaul, who had managed just eight runs.

Earlier in the match, India declared their first innings at a commanding 448 for five wickets, giving them a substantial lead of 286 runs.

India’s batting dominance was on full display on Day 2, with three players registering centuries. Ravindra Jadeja’s unbeaten 104, Dhruv Jurel’s impressive 125, and KL Rahul’s solid 100 were the highlights of India’s innings, setting a strong platform for the hosts.

As Day 3 unfolds, India looks firmly in control, with the West Indies fighting to salvage their innings against an in-form Indian bowling attack. (With inputs from Agencies)
