India is 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 their first Test match in Delhi after a break of more than 2.5 years. Having won the opening Test by an innings and 140 runs, India will be eager to register a clean sweep against the visitors.
Here, we delve into India’s Test record at the Arun Jaitley Stadium and what history suggests for the upcoming encounter.
### India’s Test Record at Arun Jaitley Stadium
Team India has maintained a stronghold at the Arun Jaitley Stadium over the years. According to ESPNcricinfo, India has played 35 Tests here, winning 14 of them. They have lost on just six occasions, while 15 matches have ended in draws.
In their most recent Test at the venue, India thrashed Australia by six wickets in February 2023, with Ravindra Jadeja delivering a match-winning performance by taking 10 wickets.
### India’s Invincibility Since 1987
Remarkably, India has been unbeaten at this ground since November 1987. Following that loss, India has contested 13 Tests here, winning 11 and drawing two. Only Australia (in 2008) and Sri Lanka (in 2017) have managed to secure draws during this period.
With Shubman Gill’s team dominating the series opener, many cricket enthusiasts are backing India to continue their unbeaten streak in Delhi.
### West Indies’ Record at Arun Jaitley Stadium
The last visiting team to win a Test in Delhi was the West Indies, who defeated India in November 1987. Overall, West Indies have two wins, one loss, and four draws at this venue. Their maiden triumph came even earlier, in December 1974.
India’s only Test win against West Indies in Delhi took place in 2011, and since then, the two sides have not faced each other in a Test match at this ground.
### Pitch Report and Playing Conditions
The pitch at Arun Jaitley Stadium is known for being spin-friendly and offers low bounce throughout the match. This characteristic keeps spinners actively involved, making it challenging for batsmen to play freely on merit.
West Indies’ batsmen may find it particularly difficult to face India’s potent spin trio consisting of Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, and Washington Sundar.
### Key Performers
Among active players, Ravindra Jadeja stands out as a key performer at this venue. He has taken 29 wickets in four Tests in Delhi at an impressive average of 14.86. His achievements include three five-wicket hauls, with a career-best 7/42.
From the Indian squad that played the opening Test against West Indies, only KL Rahul and Mohammed Siraj have prior experience playing Test cricket at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Both made their sole appearances in the 2023 Test against Australia.
