India Vs West Indies 2nd Test Day 5, 2nd Test Highlights: Match ends in tame draw as rain washes out play on final day.

By Zee Media Bureau | Last Updated: Tuesday, July 25, 2023 - 06:49

Team India won the two-match series 1-0 as rain ended all hopes of play on the final day at the Queen's Park Oval in Port of Spain, Trinidad on Monday. There was no play possible on Day 5 as India's hopes of a series whitewash were dashed.

On a rain-affected Day 4, Team India batters went all guns blazing right from ball one as soon as the Windies' innings was over. Openers Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal played this Test like a white-ball match in India's innings keeping the rain factor in their mind. Later on, Shubman Gill and Ishan Kishan guided India to 181 runs on the board after which the skipper decided to declare.

LIVE India vs West Indies 2nd Test, Day 5: Mohammed Siraj reflects on 5-wicket haul

Team India pacer Mohammed Siraj gave his thoughts on his five-wicket haul in the first innings of the 2nd Test vs West Indies. "First of all, this performance was really good because it's not easy to take a five-fer on such a flat wicket, the pitch wasn't doing much. I wanted to keep it stump to stump. From there if it seams, it's really good. That was my plan, just to keep executing this simple plan. Today we had a relatively new ball too, so it was swinging. Tomorrow we'll start with an older ball, we'll have to keep simple plans, not give away too many runs and just keep building the pressure," Siraj said at the end of Day 4.

LIVE India vs West Indies 2nd Test, Day 1: R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja will bowl a lot on final day, says Aakash Chopra

With Team India pushing for a win against West Indies on Day 5 of the second Test at Queen's Park Oval, former India opener Aakash Chopra feels spinners R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja will bowl plenty of overs.

"Ashwin has already picked up a couple of wickets. Jadeja, on a Day Five surface, is always a threat. So, I expect them to bowl a lot of overs in tandem in the second or the third session if the game goes that far because the Indian team will also start thinking about the number of overs remaining and how many overs they can get in because these two spinners can actually put in their overs in double quick time. So, yes, expecting a few wickets from them,” Aakash Chopra told Jio Cinema.
