Virat Kohli-led Indian cricket team need 71 runs to win the ongoing second Test match between India and West Indies. The second and last Test match between India and West Indies will be played at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Sunday.

On Sunday after getting bowled out for 367, India wrapped up the West Indies for a paltry 127 runs in their second innings.

The Indian bowlers came out all guns blazing to dismiss the entire Caribbean team in just 46 overs. The hosts had earlier taken a 56-run lead after putting 367 runs on the board in reply to the West Indies’ first innings total of 311 runs.

Pacer Umesh Yadav was the wrecker-in-chief with figures of 4/45 while off-spinner Ravindra Jadeja took three wickets conceding just 12 runs. The right-arm bowler, who had figures of 6/88 in the first innings, thus scalped 10 wickets.

Sunil Ambris was the top scorer for the visitors with 38 runs while Shai Hope chipped in with 28 runs.

Brief scores:

West Indies: 311 and 127 (Sunil Ambris 38, Shai Hope 28; Umesh Yadav 4/45) vs India: 367 in first innings (Rishabh Pant 92, Ajinkya Rahane 80; Holder 5/56)
