India Takes Command Against West Indies with Batting Brilliance

India showcased their batting prowess as they reached 448 for five at stumps on day two of the opening Test against the West Indies. With centuries from KL Rahul, Dhruv Jurel, and Ravindra Jadeja, the hosts now enjoy a substantial lead of 286 runs over the visitors.

Ravindra Jadeja, finishing unbeaten on 104, and Washington Sundar were at the crease at the close of play. The pair, alongside Jurel, who achieved his maiden Test century, built a formidable fifth-wicket partnership, adding 206 runs to cement India's dominant position in the match.

KL Rahul laid a strong foundation with his brilliant century earlier in the day. Despite the early loss of skipper Shubman Gill, India's batsmen have controlled the game after dismissing West Indies for a mere 162 on the opening day.
