Virat Kohli will take the field for the 500th time in his distinguished international career when India take on the West Indies in the second and final Test of their ICC World Test Championship series in Trinidad and the 34-year-old still remains one of the most consistent performers in all
India cruised to a comprehensive victory over the West Indies in the opening Test of the two-match ICC World Test Championship series in Dominica earlier this month and both Rohit and Jaiswal were prominent with superb centuries.
Ravichandran Ashwin's 12-wicket haul coupled with debutant Yashasvi Jaiswal’s 171 enabled India to wrap the proceedings by the third evening. India’s highest wicket-taker in Tests Anil Kumble praised the off-spinner's massive effort, the best for any Indian in West Indies.
The Caribbean side fell to a disappointing innings and 141-run loss to the Asian nation in their first appearance of the new ICC World Test Championship cycle and will be keen to return to winning ways and tie the series when the second Test commences at Queen’s Park Oval on Thursday.
India's batting coach Vikram Rathour said that the young Indian batter Yashasvi Jaiswal has the potential to play for India for the next 10 years ahead of the second Test against West Indies.
Ashwin utilised every bit of the extra bounce and spin that was on offer, making it difficult for the entire middle-order batters to read his variations, as well as line and length, and really a hard task to stay on the crease.
India registered a convincing innings and 141-run win over the West Indies on Day 3 of the 1st Test at Dominica on Friday, riding on brilliant performances by debutant Yashasvi Jaiswal, who scored 171 and old warhorse Ravichandran Ashwin, who claimed a match haul of 12 wickets.
India's skipper Rohit Sharma didn't hold back while praising the spin duo of Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja after they outclassed West Indies on their home soil to go one-up in the two-match Test series on Friday at Windsor Park.
The spin duo of Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja provided India with an ideal start, after they decided to declare their innings in the second session of the first Test at Windsor Park on Friday.
