India vs West Indies, 2nd Test: Ravichandran Ashwin, Mohammed Siraj Shine As West Indies Struggle On Rain-Hit Day 4

India gave themselves the best chance to win the second Test against the West Indies with an ultra-aggressive batting approach after lead pacer Mohammed Siraj produced career-best figures on another rain-hit day in Port of Spain. Siraj's five-wicket haul in the morning session allowed India to bowl out the West Indies for 255 in their first innings after the hosts started day four at 229 for five. Having gained a massive 183-run first innings lead, India went for an all-out attack in the second innings to smash 181 for two in 24 overs before declaring 35 minutes after the tea break to set the home team a 365-run target.

Ishan Kishan A Prey Of "T20 Or White-ball Effect"? India Legend Gives This Logic

The Test series against West Indies has seen the Indian team management give chances to new faces. Yashasvi Jaiswal, Mukesh Kumar, and Ishan Kishan made their Test debuts. Kishan has played in limited overs format before for India. In the absence of Rishabh Pant, who is recuperating after suffering a car crash last year, Kishan has got several chances and is clearly being looked as an option in the attacking batter-wicketkeeper role. However, batting-wise he has not been able to impress so far. In the first Test, he took quite a long time to open his innings. In the first inning of the second Test, he started well but fell on 25 after playing 37 deliveries.

India's Predicted XI vs West Indies, 2nd Test: Will Mukesh Kumar Make His Debut?

Following an innings and 141-run victory in three days, no major changes are expected in the playing eleven but it remains to be seen if left-arm pacer Jaydev Unadkat gets another opportunity. The 31-year-old, who featured in only his third Test in 13 years, was the lone Indian bowler who did not pick a wicket in Dominica and bowled only nine overs. India spin duo of Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja made merry on a track offering turn in the series opener and another turner is on the cards with the West Indies replacing batting all-rounder Ramon Reifer with spin all-rounder Kevin Sinclair.

India skipper Rohit Sharma has high expectations from young wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan and indicated the 25-year-old limited-overs specialist will get more opportunities in Tests to harness his potential. Ishan made his Test debut against the West Indies in the first Test at Roseau, which India won by an innings and 141 runs, and Rohit said he was clearly impressed with Ishan's keeping for the likes of Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja when the ball was turning copiously and bouncing as well.

Virat Kohli is a health freak, and there's no denying that. The talismanic batter has such immense control over his tastebuds that he only eats food that is healthy for him. Such a mentality all but rules out space for junk food, sweets and processed stuff. On the occasion of the birthday of Indian wicket-keeper batter Ishan Kishan, Kohli's reluctance to eat cake was clearly visible in a video shared by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on social media.

Indian cricket team wicket-keeper Ajinkya Rahane did not miss a chance to troll teammate Ajinkya Rahane on Day 3 of the first Test match against West Indies in Dominica on Sunday. India were on the verge of victory in the final session but the No. 11 batter Jomel Warrican scored 18 runs in 18 balls to provide slight entertainment to the home crowd.

"Aap se zyada ball khel gaya yeh, Ajju bhai(He has now played more balls than you, Ajju bhai)," he quipped.
