India is all set to take on the West Indies in the second and final Test of the series at the iconic Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi from October 10-14. This match holds special significance for local fans, as it will be the first Test held in Delhi after a gap of over 2.5 years. Having dominated the opening game with an innings and 140 runs victory, India will be eager to complete a clean sweep at home.
### India’s Test Record at Arun Jaitley Stadium
India has maintained a stronghold at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, playing 35 Tests here with a commendable record. According to ESPNcricinfo, Team India has won 14 matches, lost 6, while 15 have ended in draws.
In their most recent Test at this venue in February 2023, India convincingly defeated Australia by six wickets. A standout performer was Ravindra Jadeja, who took 10 wickets in the match, further strengthening his reputation on this ground.
### India’s Unbeaten Streak Since 1987
Notably, India has remained unbeaten in Delhi since November 1987. Over these 13 Tests, the team has won 11 and drawn two. Only Australia (in 2008) and Sri Lanka (in 2017) managed to secure draws against India during this period.
With Shubman Gill leading the charge and the team delivering a dominant performance in the first Test against West Indies, expectations are high for India to continue this impressive streak.
### West Indies’ Record at the Venue
Historically, the West Indies have had limited success at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Their last victory in Delhi dates back to November 1987—the same series when India last lost here. Overall, the Windies have two wins, one loss, and four draws at this venue.
West Indies’ maiden Test triumph at the ground came earlier in December 1974. India’s only Test win against the visitors in Delhi was recorded in 2011. Since then, the two sides have not faced each other in Tests at this stadium.
### Pitch Report and Conditions
The pitch at Arun Jaitley Stadium is widely known to be spin-friendly, often featuring low bounce. These conditions typically keep spinners active throughout the match, making batting challenging for opponents.
For the West Indies batters, handling India’s potent spin trio—Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, and Washington Sundar—will be particularly tough, given the pitch’s characteristics.
### Key Indian Performers at Arun Jaitley Stadium
Among active players, Ravindra Jadeja stands out as the key performer at this venue. ESPNcricinfo records show Jadeja has claimed 29 wickets in just four Tests here, boasting an impressive average of 14.86. His haul includes three five-wicket innings, with his best figures of 7/42 achieved at this ground.
From the Indian squad featured in the series opener against West Indies, KL Rahul and Mohammed Siraj are the only players with prior Test experience at this stadium, having played in the 2023 Test against Australia.

As India prepares to host the West Indies at the Arun Jaitley Stadium once again, cricket fans can expect thrilling action fueled by India’s strong history at the ground and the spin-friendly conditions that favor the home team. With a chance to seal the series convincingly, the stakes are high for both sides in this much-anticipated contest.
