India look to steamroll West Indies with another dominant show in the Second World Test Championship encounter starting at Sabina Park, Kingston, Jamaica tomorrow. Jasprit Bumrah (match haul of 6 wickets) and Ishant Sharma (8 wickets) exposed the opposition’s technical frailties and they will be gunning for more in the second game.
Opener Mayank Agarwal wasn’t in his elements either in the first Test but it is expected that he would get another opportunity, which he rightfully deserves having worked hard in Australia. The Indian middle-order performed admirably with Ajinkya Rahane back in form with an under-pressure half-century and a century.
Hanuma Vihari also justified his selection with a 93 in the second innings, meaning that Rohit Sharma’s wait to make the side could just get a bit longer. The match will begin at 8 p.m. Indian Standard Time.
Having won the first test by 318 runs, India are runaway favourites going into the second and final match. India have already clinched the Twenty20 and ODI series against the West Indies.
