The first red-ball game between West Indies and India was completed in three days, as the visitors got the better of the hosts and managed to win the game by an innings and 141 runs. The Rohit Sharma-led side took the lead in the match right from the moment West Indies opted to bat after winning the toss. After ending the Caribbean innings on 150 runs, India rode on the centuries of the skipper Rohit Sharma (103 runs) and debutant Yashasvi Jaiswal (171 runs) to post 421 runs on the board. Meanwhile, Indian stalwart Virat Kohli, who scored his 29th Test fifty was seemingly in a relaxed mood and was seen showcasing hilarious dance moves.
Former India skipper Virat Kohli was sent back to pavilion after scoring 76 runs, off a Rahkeem Cornwall delivery in the 146th over. However, the 34-year-old Delhi boy was seen showcasing some hilarious dance moves in the second session of day 3. The video of the same has gone viral on social media.

The ex-Indian captain earlier broke the record of former India opener Virender Sehwag’s 8503 runs and became the fifth highest run scorer for India in Test matches. Speaking of the Indian spinners’ heroics in the first match, Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja took 12 and five wickets, respectively in both the innings combined.
The world no.1 bowler, Ashwin, made a stunning comeback after getting dropped in the WTC Final. After taking 12 wickets, Ashwin became the first Indian bowler ever to pick two five-wicket hauls in both the innings of a Test in West Indies.
