IND vs WI: Virat Kohli celebrates first boundary after 81 balls | Watch

Video of Virat celebrating his first boundary against the West Indies is going viral on social media.

While every Test match of the Ashes 2023 series has lived up to the hype, the India-West Indies Test has been rather one-sided so far. West Indies won the toss at Dominica and decided to bat first. But Indian pacers and spinners sent the entire West Indies team back to the pavilion for just 150 runs on day one. India continued at 80 for the loss of no wickets on Day 2, and it was the Indian opening pair that dominated Windies completely.

They did not only build the biggest Test partnership of 229 runs but Yashasvi Jaiswal also scored a century on his Test debut.
