Team India and West Indies will face off against each other for the 100th time in Test cricket when the two sides begin 2nd Test at the Queen’s Park Oval in Port of Spain, Trinidad on Thursday. India and West Indies will become the third and fourth team after Australia and England to play in 100 Tests against one team.
The match is also a special occasion for former India captain Virat Kohli. He will become just the fourth Indian batter to play in 500 international matches after Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and MS Dhoni.
While Team India are expected to go in with the same playing XI for the second Test after winning the first Test by an innings and 141 runs, the home side are expected to make a few changes. Spinner Kevin Sinclair could make his Test debut after being called up into the squad for the second game.
Batter Raymon Reifer has also been dropped from the squad and batter Kirk McKenzie could replace him in the line-up. Kraigg Brathwaite may also opt to bring in Shanon Gabriel in place of either Jomel Warrican or Rahkeem Cornwall in to the side.
