New Delhi, India: India completed a dominant 2-0 series whitewash against the West Indies today, securing a comfortable seven-wicket victory on the final day of the second Test at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Chasing a modest target of 121, India resumed on Day 5 at 63/1 and efficiently knocked off the remaining 58 runs.

Opener KL Rahul was the architect of the successful chase, scoring a composed unbeaten 58. He partnered with Sai Sudharsan (39), building a crucial 79-run stand for the second wicket that took the team to the brink of victory.

While West Indies off-spinner Roston Chase managed to claim the wickets of Sudharsan and captain Shubman Gill (13) in quick succession, the deficit was too small for the visitors to defend. Rahul and wicketkeeper-batter Dhruv Jurel (6*) ensured there were no further scares, guiding India to the win in the first session of the day.Also Read: Travellers Can Win ₹1,000 FASTag Recharge by Reporting Dirty Toilets at NHAI Toll Plazas
