India aim to continue their dominance and complete a clean sweep as they face West Indies in the 2nd Test, starting from Friday (October 10) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.
The series holds added importance as it kickstarts India's home campaign in the 2025-27 World Test Championship (WTC) cycle. With a strong record against the Caribbean side and a point to prove after last year's whitewash in New Zealand, the hosts will be determined to reassert their Test dominance.

Team News
India enter the 2nd Test in Delhi riding high from a dominant win in Ahmedabad, expected to retain their squad with emphasis on testing young talent like
Nitish Kumar Reddy's seam skills and Sai Sudharsan under scrutiny for recent low scores-both receiving backing from captain Shubman Gill. The black-soil pitch is forecast to support spin from early on, favouring the hosts' strong spin attack led by Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav.
West Indies, facing deep struggles with form and mindset, could consider introducing left-arm seamer Jediah Blades to strengthen their attack, but no major batting changes are expected amid calls for better preparation and discipline from head coach Daren Sammy. With India focusing on World Test Championship points and squad depth, the visitors face a formidable challenge to avoid another swift defeat.
IND vs WI 2nd Test Predicted Playing XI
India: KL Rahul, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill (c), Dhruv Jurel (wk), Nitish Kumar Reddy, Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Jasprit Bumrah
West Indies: John Campbell, Tagenarine Chanderpaul, Brandon King, Shai Hope (wk), Alick Athanaze, Roston Chase (c), Justin Greaves, Khary Pierre, Jomel Warrican, Jayden Seales, Jediah Blades
