Focus shifts to Delhi Test as India hunt 2-0 sweep

New Delhi, Oct 7 (UNI) India's Men in Blue are smelling a sweep. After steamrolling West Indies by an innings and 140 runs in Ahmedabad, they head to the Arun Jaitley Stadium starting October 10 with a chance to seal a 2-0 series win.
Head coach Gautam Gambhir, ever the motivator, will be hosting an informal dinner for the squad today evening, proof that good food and team banter can be as potent as a fast bowler's spell.
The Delhi pitch promises drama: patches of grass, bald areas, and a black-soil base favouring batsmen early, with spinners ready to pounce as the surface dries. Short boundaries, a quick outfield, and a rich batting history make this venue a playground for strokemakers. Sachin Tendulkar leads the run charts with 759, followed by Dilip Vengsarkar (671), Sunil Gavaskar (668), Rahul Dravid (635), and Sourav Ganguly (582), names that still make bowlers sweat.
