In a commanding display of skill and consistency, India defeated West Indies 2-0 in the second Test match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi, completing a historic series sweep. The hosts chased down a modest target of 121 runs on Day 5, securing the win with nine wickets in hand. KL Rahul scored an unbeaten 58, while Dhruv Jurel remained not out on six, guiding India to a comfortable finish despite early losses of Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill on the final day.

This victory represents India’s 10th Test series win against West Indies, marking an unbroken winning streak against the Caribbean side that began in 2002. With this achievement, India equalled the world record for the most series victories against an opponent, previously held by South Africa, which also secured 10 series wins over the Windies from 1998 to 2024. Other notable streaks include Australia with nine consecutive series wins against West Indies (2000–2022) and eight wins against England (1989–2003), and Sri Lanka with eight wins against Zimbabwe (1996–2020).
