Welcome to my wrap up in rap of Day 1, Test 2 in T&T
Brought to you by Fogg Perfumes & Cycle Agarbathi
Day 1 has dawned bright and beautiful for India today
Why are Windies called West Indies? Comment away!
It's because Christopher Columbus was supremely idiotic
He said "I aimed for India, I crossed an ocean, therefore this is it."
Alrighty then let me get down to brass tacks and give you a stat attack
This is the 100th India-Windies Test, we saw 100+ openings back to back
Also back to back were debutant Yashaswi Jaiswal's fifties with back to back 4s
Let's see if the youngster makes it back to back centuries and shores up his scores
Speaking of centuries
Virat King Kohli has now played his 500th international match
Commentator Abhinav Mukund had debuted in his 1st match
Just before lunch, the Windies slip fielder spilled Yashaswi's catch
You know catches win matches lekin kya fayda hoga ek catch lekar?
And how can we not talk about the God of Cricket, Sachin Tendulkar?
In an amazing stat spiral, he played 664 international matches
It's the exact number of runs he and Vinod Kambli recorded
Apparently he also had 75 centuries in his first 500 matches
So it seems that if Kohli can manage to extend his career
He can get past the century of centuries scored by Tendulkar
Coming back to the match, Windies finally held on to a catch in this Test
Holder got Yashaswi to take a wild swing and Kirk McKenzie did the rest
Prince Shubman followed suit soon but rest assured, he's one of the best
Now King Kohli has come out to bat, India's logo emblazoned on his chest
Captain Rohit got bamboozled by a beauty of a ball by Warrican
He had to return to the pavilion after a good knock of 80 runs
Courtney Walsh the great Windies pacer was the first to 500 Test scalps
Kohli took 20 balls to settle in before he got off the mark with 2 smacks
In true sportmanhip spirit, a Windian tied up Rahane's untied shoelace
But his stay at the wicket ended on the stroke of tea, he's out of the race
Kohli made getting another fifty look easy, his shots were, like T&T, breezy
And India ended Day 1 of Test 2 of the Cycle Agarbathi series at 288 for 4
