West Indian left-arm spinner Jomel Warrican bowled a stunning delivery in his first over of the second Test match at the Arun Jaitely Stadium in New Delhi, dismissing top Indian batter KL Rahul and gave the visitors their first breakthrough.
Warrican tossed the package outside, enticing KL Rahul to walk down the track.
The ball gripped the turf and twisted rapidly, beating Rahul both in the air and off the pitch. Tevin Imlach, the wicketkeeper, quickly removed the bails while Rahul, well short of his ground, appeared surprised by the amount of turn. Notably, the delivery rotated 8.4 degrees.

Rahul looked steady before his dismissal, collecting 38 runs off 54 balls, including five boundaries and a six. He even hit Khary Pierre over long-on earlier for his 27th Test six, surpassing Sunil Gavaskar’s total. Meanwhile, after scoring a century in the previous Test, Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal gave India a good start.
Earlier in the morning, India’s Shubman Gill won his maiden toss as Test captain and elected to bat first. The hosts kept their starting XI unchanged, while the West Indies replaced Brandon King and Johann Layne with Tevin Imlach and Anderson Phillip, respectively.
Indian openers tackled the new ball carefully and played within themselves. Jaiswal, who had struggled against the cut shot in recent innings, survived a play-and-miss off Phillip in the 10th over but continued to rotate strike brilliantly. The duo brought up India’s 50 in the 16th over.
Meanwhile, the West Indies bowlers, Jayden Seales, Anderson Phillip, and Justin Greaves, bowled good opening spells, finding a little movement. At the end of 20 overs, India’s scorecard read 72 for 1, with Jaiswal unbeaten on 26 and debutant B Sai Sudharsan on 8.
