In the first innings of the second test, India posted a formidable total of 438 runs. Key contributions from Virat Kohli, who scored a century with 121 runs off 206 balls, along with half-centuries from skipper Rohit Sharma (80 off 143 balls), Yashasvi Jaiswal (57 off 74 balls), Ravindra Jadeja (61 off 152 balls), and Ravichandran Ashwin (56 off 78 balls) played a crucial role in achieving this impressive score.


In response to India's first innings total of 438, the West Indies team was dismissed for just 255 runs, trailing by 183 runs at that stage.


Captain Kraigg Brathwaite was the top-scorer for the West Indies, achieving a knock of 75 runs in 235 balls. Other notable contributions came from Alick Athanaze (37), Tagenarine Chanderpaul (33), and Kirk McKenzie (32) for the West Indies.
