The much-anticipated second Test match between India and West Indies is scheduled to be held at Queen’s Park Oval in Port of Spain, commencing on July 20 and concluding on July 24. Rohit Sharma’s Team India is determined to secure a 2-0 series whitewash as they face West Indies in the second Test of the two-match series. On the other hand, West Indies will be determined to rebound in this Test, with the goal of securing a victory to level the series.
In the previous encounter at Dominica, India achieved a resounding victory inside three days, defeating the hosts by an innings and 141 runs. As the two teams meet for the 100th time in Test cricket, it marks a significant milestone for both sides. Out of the previous matches, West Indies has emerged victorious in 30, while India has triumphed 23 times. Notably, since 2002, West Indies has not managed to defeat India in a Test match.
In the first session on the day 1 of the 2nd Test, Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal displayed remarkable composure and confidence. However, the narrative took a different turn in the second session. India’s opening partnership was broken at 139 runs, and subsequently, two more wickets fell for just over 20 runs. Jaiswal departed after an impressive 57 off 74 balls, falling victim to Jason Holder, who had been the most threatening bowler in the first session. Later, Rohit’s fine knock of 80 off 143 came to an end, and Shubman Gill struggled once again, managing only 10 runs before getting dismissed.
The highly anticipated 500th international appearance of Virat Kohli began with a stylish shot down the ground after taking 21 balls to get off the mark. Unfortunately, Ajinkya Rahane fell on the final ball of the second session, allowing the West Indies to hold the advantage at that point. However, Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja turned the tide in India’s favor during the third session. Their brilliant partnership ensured India did not lose any more wickets and constituted the team’s second 100-plus partnership of the innings. As the day concluded, India stood strong at 288/4, with Kohli impressively batting on 87 off 161, while Jadeja contributed a steady 36 off 84. The duo’s resilience and control brought India back into a commanding position in the match.
