Will Rain Play Spoilsport In Historic 100th Test Between India And West Indies?

Cricket fans are eagerly waiting for the start of the second Test between India and West Indies at the Queen's Park Oval in Port of Spain, Trinidad on Thursday. The second Test will be historic for two reasons. Firstly, this will be the 100th Test between the two sides. Secondly, star India batter Virat Kohli will be playing his 500th international match. The ongoing tour of West Indies has been an emotional one for Kohli so far. The 34-year-old will become the fourth India player, after Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and MS Dhoni to achieve the feat.

With India leading 1-0 in the two-match series, Kohli would want to end the series with a big score.
