India sense Test series clean sweep despite West Indies fightback
India needed just 121 runs to win the second Test and sweep the series 2-0 after bowling out the spirited West Indies for 390 on Monday.
Justin Greaves, unbeaten on 50, and Jayden Seales (32) put on 79 runs for the final wicket to frustrate the Indian attack on day four at Delhi's Arun Jaitley Stadium.
John Campbell (115) and Shai Hope (103) had steered West Indies into the lead after the tourists resumed on 173-2 while following on.
The left-right batting pair of Campbell and Hope put on 177 runs for the third wicket.
Opener Campbell reached his first Test ton with a six off Ravindra Jadeja before the left-arm spinner trapped him lbw in the morning session.
Hope kept up the charge after lunch and reached his first Test hundred in eight years with a boundary off pace bowler Mohammed Siraj.
Siraj had his revenge soon after when the batter dragged his delivery onto his stumps.
Kuldeep Yadav, who took 5-82 in the West Indies' first innings, then took over to send back wicketkeeper Tevin Imlach, trapped lbw for two.
The left-arm wrist spinner then struck twice in three balls including skipper Roston Chase for 40.
But Greaves and the left-handed number 10 Seales defied the Indian attack for 133 deliveries with straight-bat shots before Jasprit Bumrah dismissed Seales.
India enforced the follow-on after they bowled out the West Indies for 248, a deficit of 270 from the hosts' first-innings 518-5 declared.
The hosts won the first Test, in Ahmedabad, by an innings.
