India will start at the overnight score of 302 for four. With not much batting to come - India are playing with five specialist bowlers - Kohli will eye at least 400 runs to put pressure on the Caribbean batsmen.
Kohli, who scored his first Test century against West Indies on Thursday, has Ravichandran Ashwin (batting on 22) for company and with keeper Wriddhiman Saha perfectly capable of scoring runs, India will hope to extend their batting domination and then leave it to their bowlers.
The first hour at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium will be crucial. The second new ball and the early bounce and pace will see a good fight between bat and ball. Anything above 400 will be a bonus for the visitors, who are unbeaten against West Indies since 2002.
India are playing with three pacers and two spinners. Former Test batsman and NDTV expert Sunil Gavaskar feels West Indies don't have the 'big hundred' batsmen, except perhaps Marlon Samuels and Darren Bravo. The odds till now are in India's favour.
