India vs. West Indies 2nd Test predicted XIs, team news
Shubman Gill led the Indian team to his first home Test victory, thanks to the team efforts in batting and bowling. Key performers from the opening match, KL Rahul, Dhruv Jurel, and Ravindra Jadeja, will strengthen the lineup once again in the second Test match.
Despite a poor first Test outing, Sai Sudharsan is expected to continue in the XI. Axar Patel is likely to step in for Nitish Kumar Reddy on the spin-friendly track of Arun Jaitley; the rest of the bowling lineup is likely to remain the same, with Kuldeep Yadav as the primary spinner in the team.
Jasprit Bumrah will once again spearhead India's pace bowling unit, with Mohammed Siraj as his partner.
India predicted XI: Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill (c), Axar Patel, Dhruv Jurel (wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj.
For the West Indies, they have plenty of things to prove here. Roston Chase, after taking over the leadership from Kraigg Brathwaite, has yet to prove something for the national team.
Wicketkeeper batter Shai Hope, who earned a Test recall during the Australia series after a four-year absence, has collected only 140 runs in 8 innings so far. Brandon King and Alick Athanaze will need to step up in the middle order for the team.
Johann Layne and Khary Pierre made their Test debuts against India in the first match and had a modest outing; both are likely to retain their places in the playing XI of the second match considering the slow surface in Delhi.
Jayden Seales once again is likely to lead their pace bowling attack, while Jomel Warrican will be taking care of the spin department.
West Indies predicted XI: Roston Chase (c), Brandon King, Jomel Warrican, Tagenarine Chanderpaul, Alick Athanaze, John Campbell, Justin Greaves, Shai Hope (wk), Khary Pierre, Johann Layne, Jayden Seales.
