IND vs WI 2nd Test 2025: The second and final Test of the India vs West Indies 2025 Test Series has kicked off at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Friday, October 10. Team India captain Shubman Gill won the toss and elected to bat first, aiming to put a strong total on the board and extend India’s dominance in the two-match series.
With India already leading 1–0 after a massive innings-and-140-run victory in Ahmedabad, the hosts enter the Delhi Test brimming with confidence. On the other hand, Roston Chase’s West Indies will look to bounce back and end the series on a high note.
India Win the Toss and Bat First
At the toss, captain Shubman Gill emphasized the importance of taking advantage of home conditions and batting early on a pitch expected to assist spinners later in the game. “It looks like a good wicket to bat on first. We’ll try to post a big total and put pressure on the opposition,” Gill said after winning the toss.
Meanwhile, West Indies skipper Roston Chase admitted he would have also preferred to bat first but is hopeful his bowlers can make early inroads.
