After winning the first test by an innings and 141 runs over the course of three days in Dominica, the India squad would hope to maintain its momentum on the second Test. Yashasvi Jaiswal's 171 debut innings made him the man of the match of the first Test. Moreover, Ravichandran Ashwin was ‘man on a mission’ in the series opener while picking up 12 wickets after missing out in the World Test Championship final playing XI. Besides Jaiswal and Ashwin,  Ravindra Jadeja's five wicket-haul in the match and Rohit Sharma's century were notable performances. India will want to dominate in the second Test, which will begin at Port of Spain. The West Indies will be hoping to bounce back from their humiliating loss in the first Test. India vs West Indies, 2nd Test 2023, Port of Spain Weather Report: Check Out the Rain Forecast and Pitch Report at Queen’s Park Oval.
