India is set to take on the West Indies in the second and final Test of the series, scheduled from October 10-14 at the iconic Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. This match provides a significant opportunity for local fans, as it will be the first Test in Delhi after a gap of over 2.5 years. Having dominated the opening game with an innings and 140 runs victory, India is eager to complete a clean sweep in front of the home crowd.
### India’s Test Record at Arun Jaitley Stadium
India has enjoyed a stronghold at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. According to ESPNcricinfo, Team India has played 35 Tests here, winning 14, losing 6, and drawing 15. Their recent Test at this venue was a commanding six-wicket win over Australia in February 2023, where Ravindra Jadeja remarkably took 10 wickets in the match.
### India’s Unbeaten Streak Since 1987
Remarkably, India has been unbeaten at this ground since November 1987. Over 13 Tests since then, they have won 11 games. The only teams to secure draws against India here during this period are Australia in 2008 and Sri Lanka in 2017. Following the dominant victory in the series opener, many experts are backing India to extend their unbeaten run at this venue.
### West Indies’ Record at Arun Jaitley Stadium
It’s worth noting that the last visiting team to win a Test in Delhi was the West Indies, who triumphed in the 1987 match. Overall, West Indies have two wins, one loss, and four draws at the stadium. Their first win here dates back to December 1974. India’s sole Test victory against the West Indies at this ground came in 2011. Since then, the two teams have not faced off in a Test match in Delhi.
### Pitch Report and Conditions
The Arun Jaitley Stadium is known for its spin-friendly pitch. The surface tends to offer low bounce, which keeps spinners active throughout the match. As a result, batsmen often find it challenging to score freely on merit here. This factor could pose a significant challenge for the West Indies batters, especially against India’s formidable spin trio of Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, and Washington Sundar.
### Key Performers at the Venue
Among active players, Ravindra Jadeja stands out at this venue. ESPNcricinfo notes that he has taken 29 wickets in four Tests at Delhi, boasting an exceptional average of 14.86. His achievements include three five-wicket hauls, with a career-best of 7/42.
From the Indian players who featured in the opening Test against West Indies, only KL Rahul and Mohammed Siraj have previous experience playing Tests at the Arun Jaitley Stadium—their sole appearance being the 2023 match against Australia.
