The West Indies did not lose a wicket after tea to be 173-2 in their second innings at the end of day three of the second Test Sunday after following on, but they still need 97 runs to make India bat again.

Spinner Kuldeep Yadav claimed five wickets as India bowled out the West Indies for 248 and enforced the follow-on in the second Test on Sunday.

Spinner Ravindra Jadeja claimed four wickets as India thrashed West Indies by an innings and 140 runs inside three days of the first Test in Ahmedabad on Saturday.

Kuldeep Yadav led the charge as India restricted Pakistan to 127-9 in a key Asia Cup clash on Sunday as the two countries met on the pitch for the first time since a military conflict between them in May.

Yadav returned figures of 5-72 and, along with fellow spinner Ravichandran Ashwin who took four wickets in his landmark 100th Test, bowled out the tourists in just 57.4 overs at the picturesque Dharamsala stadium

Most cricketers would argue that good preparations make for good World Cup campaigns but after an injury-plagued buildup and a string of other setbacks Australia spinner Adam Zampa might have a different take.

Kuldeep Yadav has been in a rich vein of form over the last few months. Recently, he was named the Player of the Series in the Asia Cup, where he picked nine wickets at an average of 11.44. This included a 5/25 against Pakistan in a record win by 228 runs.
