Virat Kohli will play his 500th match
Former India skipper Virat Kohli is on the verge of reaching a milestone in the next game. In the second Test against West Indies, Kohli will play 500th international match of his career. Kohli has so far featured in 110 Tests, 274 ODIs and 115 T20I matches. Apart from this, Kohli also has a chance to surpass former India batter Virender Sehwag in terms of runs in Test cricket. Kohli has so far scored 8555 runs in 110 matches in Test cricket. Sehwag, on the other hand, has 8586 runs to his name in 104 Test matches. Virat needs only 31 runs to overtake Sehwag. Kohli produced a fine knock of 76 in the opening Test against West Indies.
India’s preparations for the second Test
After having a positive result in the first Test, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma will now be eager to carry forward the brilliance in the final game of the series. Team India currently have a lead of 1-0 in the two-match Test series against the Caribbean opponents. "In Dominica (first Test venue), we had a clear idea when we saw the pitch and knew the conditions. Here we don't have clarity as there is talk of rain, but I don't think there will be drastic changes. But whatever conditions are available, based on that, we will make that decision,” Rohit was quoted as saying by Sportskeeda ahead of the final Test. Opening batter Yashasvi Jaiswal was adjudged Man of the Match in the series opener for his superb knock of 171.
