The second Test of the West Indies versus India series is currently being played at the Queen’s Park Oval in Port of Spain, Trinidad. The Men in Maroon are 76/2 in their second innings, at stumps on day 4, chasing a 365-run target against the Indian cricket team.
It was before the start of play on day 1, when West Indies captain Kraigg Braithwaite won the toss and chose to bowl first, a surprising decision considering that the pitch at the Queen’s Park Oval looked very good for batting. His call proved to be bad for the Caribbean team as Team India managed to pile on 438 runs in their first innings. Virat Kohli got his first overseas Test century in the process after nearly five years.
