India’s off-spinner Washington Sundar produced a sensational delivery to remove Alick Athanaze on Day 3 of the second Test at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Sunday, October 12. The breakthrough came on the third ball of the 15th over in West Indies’ second innings.
Washington Sundar bowled a length delivery targeting the leg stump, tempting Athanaze into a forward defensive push. The ball drifted in the air, gripped the surface, and deviated sharply after pitching, beating the batter and crashing into the stumps to give Sundar his first wicket of the innings.

The left-handed batter scored only seven runs from 17 deliveries, hitting just one boundary. His dismissal coincided with the Tea break on Day 3, leaving the West Indies following on at 35/2 after 14.3 overs. The visitors remained 235 runs behind with eight wickets in hand, striving to avert a second consecutive innings defeat.

In the second Test at Delhi, Shubman Gill won the toss and opted to bat first. India dominated the innings, declaring at an imposing 518/5. Opener Yashasvi Jaiswal starred with a brilliant 175 off 258 balls, including 22 boundaries, while captain Gill remained unbeaten on a stylish 129 from 196 deliveries, hitting 16 fours and two sixes.
In response, John Campbell fell cheaply for 10. Tagenarine Chanderpaul (34) and Alick Athanaze (41) tried to stabilize the innings but couldn’t convert their starts, and skipper Roston Chase was dismissed for a seven-ball duck. Shai Hope (36), Tevin Imlach (21), and Justin Greaves (17) showed promise but failed to make substantial scores as India struck at regular intervals.
Lower-order contributions from Khary Pierre (23) and Anderson Phillip (24*) offered some resistance, but the West Indies were eventually bowled out for 248 in 81.5 overs. Kuldeep Yadav was the star with the ball for India, finishing with impressive figures of 5/82 from 26.5 overs.
