Meanwhile, Kohli became the first player in the world to score a hundred on his 500th international match. This was a remarkable fixture as he brought up his 29th Test ton and his 76th three-figure score in international cricket. His hundred in Trinidad marked his first century away from India in the longest format of the game in five years. Riding on his hundred and half-centuries from Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin, India posted a formidable 438 in the first innings.
In response, the West Indies batters have put up a strong fight as they ended Day 2 on 86/1 with captain Kraigg Brathwaite and debutant Kirk McKenzie out in the middle. Brathwaite earlier stitched a 71-run opening stand with Tagenarine Chanderpaul which ended after the Indian bowlers and fielders toiled hard for over 34 overs with Ravindra Jadeja getting the only wicket to fall so far. The hosts, who are 0-1 down in the series, still trail India by 352 runs.
