Horrified by an extraordinary fightback from West Indies on the 5th day of the rain-hit second Test, Indian bowlers will have to give an exceptional bowling performance to win the third test and the series comfortably.
West Indies came back strongly on the first day of the third test and turned the one-sided match into a draw.
West Indies won the toss and invited visitors to bat first. After scoring a huge total of 566 in First test and 500 in the Second test, Indian batsmen lacked first time in the series as West Indies bowlers thrashed Indian top order under 100 runs.
Shikhar Dhawan continued his bad form from the second test match as he got out on 9 runs by Shanon Gabriel. West Indian debutant Alzarri Joseph, young thrilling fast bowler from Antigua surprised Indian skipper Virat Kohli with a stunning delivery and named the first wicket of his Test career which will definitely give Alzarri Joseph a boost in his test career as he opened his account with the wicket of one of the best batsmen in the world.
