IND vs WI Key battles:

KL Rahul vs Jayden Seales

KL Rahul would like to build on the century he scored in the first Test, which was only his second Test hundred at home, when he comes out to bat in the second match.

Rahul will be up against Jayden Seales, who will be banked upon to pick early wickets, being the leader of his team's bowling attack.

Shubman Gill vs Johann Layne

Indian captain Shubman Gill would be disappointed that he failed to convert his half-century into a big score in the first Test and would hope to do so in the second match

Gill will face the challenge of Johan Layne, who would wish to get rid of Gill early in the innings.

Shai Hope vs Jasprit Bumrah

West Indies' white ball captain Shai Hope is one of the few batters who has some kind of expierence when it comes to playing cricket in India and would want to use it and make a significant contribution in the next match.

Hope will have to face the challenge of Jasprit Bumrah, who will look to do what he did in the previous match, i.e., pick wickets.

Roston Chase vs Kuldeep Yadav

Roston Cange, the West Indies' Test captain, would like to lead from the front, especially after the performance of the team's batting department in the first match.

Chase will have to tackle the bowling of Kuldeep Yadav, who made full use of the limited opportunity he got to bowl in the previous match after the fast bowling pair of Nohammed Siraj and Jasprit did the damage with the new ball.

Kuldeep would hope that he gets to showcase his skills a lot more in the upcoming match in Delhi.
