  IND vs WI 2nd Test Day 1 Live Score:

  Rohit Sharma emerged as the more contented captain despite losing the toss to Kraig Brathwaite. The West Indies' choice to bowl first on the seemingly unchallenging pitch proved to be a grave misstep, as India swiftly amassed 121 runs at an impressive rate of nearly five runs per over, firmly seizing control of the session. Both Rohit and Jaiswal showcased their prowess by achieving half-centuries, exhibiting absolute command over the game.

  IND vs WI 2nd Test Day 1 Live Score: West Indies opt to bowl

  Kraigg Brathwaite: We are gonna have a bowl first. Shannon comes back into the team. There's some moisture on the pitch. McKenzie makes his debut today, he's ready and raring to go. Bowling-wise we were okay. The first game is gone, we got to be mentally ready for the challenge. We had a few chats, we got to believe in ourselves. We came a long way, the matches between India and West Indies. Recently we haven't won, looking to change it.

  Rohit Sharma: We were looking to bat first. Looks nice and sunny as well. It's going to get slower and slower. Shardul has pulled up a niggle. He's not fit. Mukesh Kumar is going to make his debut. He has worked hard in the domestic cricket. There's lot of memories, the rivalry between the two teams has always been exciting to watch.

  IND vs WI 2nd Test Day 1 Live Score:

  Yashavi Jaiswal had a dream start to his international career, achieving multiple milestones with his remarkable 171-run knock in the first Test. However, the young left-hander now faces an even greater challenge: to consistently replicate that level of performance. He is not only regarded as a Test opener but also holds the potential to become an all-format cricketer.
