IND vs WI Live Score, 2nd Test Match Day 3: Washington Sundar removes Alick Athanaze
West Indies resumed day three at 140-4, still trailing India’s mammoth first-innings total of 518/5 declared. Kuldeep made an immediate impact, striking in his first over of the day by dismissing Shai Hope for 36, reducing the hopes of a resistance. Tevin Imlach was the next to go, given out LBW for 21, a decision upheld by DRS, followed by Justin Greaves for 17, also trapped LBW by the left-arm wrist spinner. Jomel Warrican fell cheaply to Mohammed Siraj for one, leaving West Indies struggling at 175/8.
Despite early collapses, Khary Pierre and Anderson Phillip added a stubborn 46-run stand for the ninth wicket. Pierre fell for 23 to Jasprit Bumrah, but Phillip continued to frustrate the Indian bowlers, remaining unbeaten on 24. Kuldeep completed his five-wicket haul by dismissing Jayden Seales LBW for 13, marking his fifth five-wicket performance in just 15 Tests. His clever variations, including drift and bounce, made him unplayable for the Windies, turning the contest decisively in India’s favour.
India, who had already won the first Test in Ahmedabad by an innings and 140 runs, now hold a dominant position in the series. With the follow-on enforced, the hosts are well-placed to secure another comprehensive victory and extend their supremacy over the struggling West Indies side.
