Sai Sudharsan has grabbed a miraculous catch off Caribbean batter John Campbell on Day 2 of the IND vs WI 2nd Test. After hitting the first ball off Ravindra Jadeja for a boundary, the batter also tried to sweep the next delivery, but it unexpectedly stuck in Sudharsan’s hand while the 23-year-old was on his way to save himself from getting hit by the shot at the short leg.

However, the batter soon went off the field to treat his finger after getting hit by the fierce shot from Campbell. At the time of writing, the visitors are 87/2, with Alick Athanaze (38) and Shai Hope at the crease.

After winning the first toss in his seven-match captaincy stint so far, Shubman Gill had opted to bat first while eyeing a mammoth target on the scoreboard to increase the pressure on the Caribbeans. Notably, Roston Chase and Co. were already coming on the back of a huge defeat in the series opener by an innings and 140 runs in Ahmedabad.
The scenes in Delhi were also no different as India declared their innings at a huge 518/5 just after wicketkeeper-batter Dhruv Jurel’s dismissal (44), who had notched up his maiden Test century in the previous fixture. Earlier, Yashasvi Jaiswal had put up a magnificent 150-plus knock on the opening day to provide a solid start to the hosts.
The opener displayed brilliant strokeplay and laced his knock with 22 boundaries to bring up his seventh ton in the format and third in India. This was also his third-best three-figure tally in Tests, as the batter unfortunately missed out on his double-century. Jaiswal was run out soon on Day 2 after adding just two more runs to his overnight score of 173.
However, following Sudharsan’s crucial contribution of 87 at No.3, skipper Gill also continued his scorching hot form to notch up yet another hundred in the longest format of the game. With his latest 129 not out at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, the youngster has now levelled with the former captain Virat Kohli to score the most hundreds in a year while leading India in Tests.
Previously, Kohli had scored five centuries consecutively in 2017 and 2018, in 16 and 24 innings, respectively. The 25-year-old has broken the record soon after donning the captain’s hat to reach the feat in just 12 innings.
