India Completes Dominant Series Sweep with Seven-Wicket Victory in Delhi Test
New Delhi, October 14, 2025 – India completed a dominant 2-0 series clean sweep over the West Indies this morning, sealing the second Test at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi by seven wickets. Chasing a modest target of 121, opener KL Rahul guided the hosts home with a composed, unbeaten half-century, ensuring a comfortable finish on the final day.
India started Day 5 needing just 58 runs with nine wickets in hand. Despite the early loss of overnight partner Sai Sudharsan (39) and Captain Shubman Gill (13), Rahul remained the anchor, finishing on 58 not out (109 balls, 6 fours, 2 sixes). The winning runs came in the 36th over, marking Captain Shubman Gill’s first Test series victory since taking the reins.
Left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav was awarded the Player of the Match for his match-winning haul of eight wickets (5/82 and 3/104). All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja was named Player of the Series for his consistent performance with both bat and ball.
The victory comes despite a spirited fightback from the West Indies, who were forced to follow-on after conceding a massive 270-run first-innings lead. Centuries from John Campbell (115) and Shai Hope (103) in the second innings saw the tourists post 390, forcing India to bat again, but the total proved too small to defend.
