India thrashed West Indies by seven wickets in the 2nd Test at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi to clinch the two-match series 2-0 and secure their tenth consecutive Test series victory against the visitors. KL Rahul scored an unbeaten 58 in the second innings to help India chase down the target of 121 runs comfortably on Day 5 to bag their second win in a row and clean sweep the series.
After hammering West Indies by an innings and 140 runs in the first Test in Ahmedabad, India appeared to be cruising towards another innings victory in the 2nd Test in Delhi. However, a fightback from West Indies batters in their second innings forced India to bat again in their second innings as the game ended on the final day.
India have played seven matches in their WTC 2025-27 campaign so far and have 4 wins to their name. Gill & Co. have lost two and drawn one game. India are third with a PCT% of 61.90. Australia are in the top spot with a PCT% of 100, followed by Sri Lanka, who have a win percentage of 66.67.
India will drop to the fourth spot on the WTC 2025-27 points table if the ongoing 1st Test between Pakistan and South Africa at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore ends in a win for any of the two teams. With a victory, Pakistan or South Africa will climb to the second spot with a win percentage of 100. However, Australia will remain on top, having won all three of their matches so far.
If the match between Pakistan and South Africa ends in a draw, the two teams will share points and have a PCT% of 33.33 each, which will see them overtake Bangladesh, who are currently in the fifth spot.
India equalled South Africa's record for the most consecutive Test series victories against an opposition with their 2-0 clean sweep against West Indies. It was India's tenth successive Test series victory against West Indies, a streak that began in 2002. South Africa too have clinched ten consecutive series wins against West Indies from 1998 to 2024.
India are unbeaten against West Indies in their last 27 Test matches from 2002. India will now head to Australia for a white-ball series consisting of three ODIs and five T20Is. While Gill will lead the team in ODIs, Suryakumar Yadav will be in charge of the Indian team in T20Is. India will return to Test action against South Africa at home later this year.
