Pitch Report: Arun Jaitley Stadium

The surface at the Arun Jaitley Stadium is expected to be on the drier side. Spinners could get more assistance as the game goes on. The first two innings could be good for batting, with a lot of runs on offer. The captain who wins the toss would want to bat first. If the team which bats first can post a big first-innings total, it will push the opposition team behind the eight-ball.

Weather Report

Rain is not expected to be a major problem for the second Test. The weather is likely to be cloudy throughout the five days. Light rain or drizzle may occur once or twice, but nothing heavy enough to affect the overall match. Conditions are expected to remain playable, with little to no significant interruptions.

Possible Lineups

India: ⁠Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill (C), Dhruv Jurel (WK), Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj.

West Indies: Alick Athanaze, John Campbell, Tagenarine Chanderpaul, Brandon King, Roston Chase (C), Shai Hope, Justin Greaves, Jomel Warrican, Jediah Blades, Khary Pierre, Jayden Seales.
