The caption was accompanied by a thinking face and a cloud emoji. The Indian Skipper who hails from Mumbai knows that the city is also witnessing heavy rains, so Rohit wrote the caption in reference to the fact that both Mumbai and Trinidad have been experiencing heavy rainfall.
A gist of the Second Test- Looking back on the Trinidad Test, Virat Kohli (121) recorded his 76th hundred as India batted first and totaled 438. Yashasvi Jaiswal had another strong performance, scoring 57 and 38, while captain Rohit amassed half-centuries in each of his innings (80 and 57). Ishan Kishan reached his first Test half-century in the second innings (52* off 34).
West Indies were bowled out for 255 in their first innings, with Mohammed Siraj recording his career-best figures of 5/60, while left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja and rookie pacer Mukesh Kumar also claimed two wickets each. When play was halted owing to bad weather in the second inning, the hosts were at 76/2.
India could have maintained the top position on the World Test Championship (WTC) points table if the has whitewashed the Caribbean Team taking a lead of 2-0, but the persistent rain tumbled down the plans. India now has slipped to number two in the WTC points table.
After the Test series, the men in blue will now look forward to playing three ODIs against West Indies, which is all set to begin from 27 July onwards.
