He delivered a match-defining performance with figures of 5-82, bowling out West Indies for 248 at Delhi's Arun Jaitley Stadium. His clinical spell, featuring guile, variations, and drift, helped India secure a commanding 270-run first-innings lead. India enforced the follow-on, leaving West Indies facing an uphill battle.
