West Indies brought in Jahmar Hamilton and Rahkeem Cornwall into their final XI in place of Shai Hope and Miguel Cummins. Hope could not clear the fitness test whereas Cummins was dropped as he went wicketless in the first match.
“There is a bit of moisture here. So we will try to get into India’s middle-order early. We have a couple of changes. We have to focus on the roles and not the results. We have to be a lot more disciplined. The last time we played here Roston Chase got a fifer,” Jason Holder said at the toss.
Meanwhile, India had convincingly clinched the first Test match by a gargantuan margin of 318 runs. Ajinkya Rahane was awarded the Man of the match as he had scored 183 runs in the Test match. Ishant Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah had taken five-wicket hauls for India.
