power on his backfoot, hits it in front of square to pick up four runs off
Ravindra Jadeja. Windies 76 for two after 29 overs.

Jadeja will bowl his first over of the day! A formidable Test bowler for India,

bowler Shardul Thakur has been handed the Test cap. He will make his debut
at his home ground, replaces Mohammed Shami, who had played 6 Test matches on a
trot.

India (Playing XI): Prithvi Shaw, Lokesh Rahul,
Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli(c), Ajinkya Rahane, Rishabh Pant(w), Ravindra
Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav, Umesh Yadav, Shardul Thakur
Windies (Playing XI): Kraigg Brathwaite, Kieran
Powell, Shai Hope, Shimron Hetmyer, Sunil Ambris, Roston Chase, Shane
Dowrich(w), Jason Holder(c), Devendra Bishoo, Jomel Warrican, Shannon Gabriel
09:00 IST: Windies skipper Jason Holder wins the toss,
opts to bat. The average score batting first in Hyderabad in 420+ so
no doubt why that decision.
The WINDIES have
won the toss and elected to bat first in the 2nd Test of the Paytm Test series
here at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad.#WindiesCricket #ItsOurGame
08:55 IST: India lead the two-match Test series 1-0. The
Windies will look to salvage some pride in the Hyderabad Test.
08:50 IST: Listen again to what Team India
captain Virat Kohli had to say during the pre-match press conference. We
are 10 minutes away from the toss.
08:30 IST: Hello and welcome to the live commentary from
the Day 1 of the second Test between India and West Indies.
In 2011, India dominated the West Indies 2-0 in a one-sided
series before crashing to a 0-4 defeat against Australia Down Under. Similarly,
in 2013 when India won both Test matches well inside three days, the next tour
of South Africa didn't pan out well as they lost the series. It is just an
indicator that the West Indies Test teams over the years have not been
competitive enough to challenge the Indian team at home. The focus, once again,
will be on Indian skipper Virat Kohli who scored 139 off 230 balls. And not to
forget the 18-year-old Prithvi Shaw, who expectedly hogged the limelight with a
smashing ton on debut.
However, the only area of concern for India will be
vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane's form. Rahane has gone without a Test hundred for
nearly 14 months (last hundred came against Sri Lanka in August 2017). Shardul
Thakur continues to be the 12th man as a 2-0 series win is paramount for the
home team at this point of time. Mohammed Shami and Umesh Yadav will also like
to use this opportunity well as they are unlikely to feature in the ODI series.
For the Windies, the aim will to at least put up some fight unlike the Rajkot
game where they didn't even last 100 overs across both innings.
