KL Rahul’s composed unbeaten half-century guided India to a 2-0 series sweep over the West Indies, as the hosts wrapped up the second and final Test inside the first hour on the fifth morning at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. Chasing 121, India resumed on 63 for 1 and, despite a couple of hiccups, crossed the finish line comfortably to seal a commanding seven-wicket victory.

The victory marks India’s first Test series win under Shubman Gill’s captaincy, following the drawn 2-2 result in England earlier this year. Though the margin suggests an easy victory, India were to earn it in New Delhi and defeat West Indies for the tenth straight time in Tests.
