PHOTO: India vs West Indies 2016: Virat Kohli and co enjoy time off ahead of 2nd Test

India lead the four-match Test series 1-0, having won the first Test at Antigua by an innings and 92 runs.

Having won the first Test at Antigua very comfortably, the Indian players seem quite relaxed ahead of the next Test. Indian skipper Virat Kohli posted a picture on social media website Instagram, chilling around with few teammates. Kohli, along with Shikhar Dhawan, Stuart Binny, Murali Vijay and KL Rahul can be seen posing for the picture in their casual outfits. India will head into the second Test in Jamaica high on confidence, after a convincing display in the first Test. The batsmen were on top, and posted 566 for 8 on the board before declaration. And the bowlers were equally impressive, bowling out the West Indies for 243 and 231 in the two innings. FULL CRICKET SCORECARD: India vs West Indies, 2nd Test match

Kohli was at his mercurial best in the first Test, scoring his maiden double century. He was duly supported by Ravichandran Ashwin, who scored a century coming in at No. 6.

With the ball, Mohammed Shami and Umesh Yadav wrecked havoc in the opposition’s batting unit. The duo took four wickets each as West Indies were bowled out for 243 in the first innings, and were made to bat again. Wriddhiman Saha managed to record six dismissals, equalling the previous records of Syed Kirmani and MS Dhoni.

The second innings saw Ashwin grab all the headlines with his 7-for. Doing so, he became the first Indian and only the third player ever to score 100 and take a 7-for in the same match.
