West Indies vs India 2nd Test | D3 Guide

Pitch Report (Queen’s Park Oval, Port of Spain)

• Another typical Test match venue, where batting is easy in the first two innings and there is assistance for pacers. But as the match goes on, spinners also come to the party. The wicket could be sluggish, so batting might not be as easy. The batters who take some time on the crease though would score many.

Dependable Trio for D3

• Yashasvi Jaiswal (India) [Captain]: The youngster had an unreal debut, notching up fabulous 171 runs. He showed terrific grit and stroke play, dominating both pacers and spinners. He would definitely carry the confidence going into the second game. The southpaw could again end up scoring mighty runs. He would be an ideal captain pick as well.
• Alzarri Joseph (West Indies): The tall pacer didn’t have a great last Test match but he always looks to bowl with a lot of dedication. The wicket at Queen’s Oval could be better for pacers and Alzarri has the potential to make the most of it. Trust him to come good in this match.
• Yusuf Pathan (OG — Batter 4) (India): Virat bats at number four for India. He scored 76 runs in the last match and is looking to gain back the form in the longer format as well. He needs no introduction and would be a top pick for this match.
