West Indies showed strength in Delhi Test

In response, West Indies was limited to 248 runs in the first innings. Seeing the poor batting of West Indies in this series, India gave them follow-on.
The follow-on hurt the West Indies batsmen and they performed brilliantly to take the lead over India by scoring 390 runs. This is only the fourth time in the history of Indian Test cricket when Team India has to bat on follow-on. West Indies has set a target of 121 runs for India to win, out of which Team India has scored 63 runs at the loss of 1 wicket.
