India vs West Indies Highlights, 2nd Test Day 1: Roston Chase Leads Windies Fightback vs India
Highlights India vs West Indies: Windies opted to bat in the second Test against India.
At the close of play on the first day of the second Test match between India and West Indies at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, it was Roston CHase (98*) who led the Windies fightback along with his captain, Jason Holder (52). The third session was owned by Chase, who ensured the entire Windies batting line-up doesn't get bundled out anytime soon. After batting through 95 overs, the Windies were 295/7, with Devendra Bishoo giving company to Chase. Kuldeep Yadav (3/74) and Umesh Yadav (3/83) were among the pick of the Indian bowlers. The second day might see Chase make get to his fourth Test hundred. (SCORECARD)
Among other West Indian batsmen, Shai Hope was dismissed for 36 whereas openers Kieran Powell and Kraigg Brathwaite walked back without registering huge scores. Earlier in the day, India were dealt with a heavy blow as Shardul Thakul -- one of the two pacers included in the side, who earned his Test cap, limped off the ground with a groin injury. (Play fantasy league and win cash daily)

08:30 IST: Hello and welcome to the live commentary from the Day 1 of the second Test between India and West Indies.Â
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.
