India Cricket Team Heading for 2nd Test
The India Cricket Team are traveling to Port of Spain for the second Test, following a three-day mauling of West Indies in Dominica. Ravichandran Ashwin made a huge impact, taking twelve wickets out of the twenty-four that fell to spinners. With the pitch starting to show signs of dust after just eight overs, the result of the match was already determined.
India Mulling Third Spinner Option
India may have misread the pitch in Dominica, only selecting two spinners in Ashwin and Jadeja. With Port of Spain likely to have a similar condition, the team is now looking to add a third spinner in Axar Patel. The left-arm spinner has already made a name for himself on low and slow surfaces, taking fifty wickets in twelve Tests at an average of 17.16.
Conclusion
The India Cricket Team are now setting their sights on the second Test, with the possibility of adding a third spinner in Axar Patel. Patel has already demonstrated his effectiveness on low and slow surfaces, and could be a major asset for the team in Port of Spain.
