India vs West Indies 2nd Test: Spectators Sleeping as Match Turns into a Snoozefest
The second Test match between India and West Indies seemed to lack excitement, as even the spectators couldn’t stay awake to watch the action unfold. While cricket enthusiasts in Australia, England, and sub-continent nations are engrossed in the thrilling Ashes series, Test cricket in the West Indies appears to be putting some fans to sleep.
Not only did a few spectators doze off during the match, but there was also a disappointing turnout of crowds in Port of Spain. Journalist Vimal Kumar captured this lack of enthusiasm in a video, where he shared images of snoozing fans and aptly captioned it, Test cricket just updated its current status in Trinidad on social media.
On the field, India continued their dominating run by amassing 288 runs for the loss of just four wickets. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma showcased their skills with sublime fifties, while skipper Virat Kohli displayed his usual brilliance, scoring an unbeaten 87 in his 500th international game. As day two approaches, India will be aiming to post a formidable total, while West Indies will be eager to make a breakthrough.
Kohli’s performance in this Test match has been nothing short of exceptional. From shot selection to his swift running between the wickets, the former India captain has been in complete control. He has shown intent and positivity, displaying an eagerness to score runs quickly. Day two presents an opportunity for Kohli to convert his fifty into a monumental hundred, as it has been over four years since he achieved a century away from home.
As the match progresses, it remains to be seen if West Indies can conjure up a fightback to make the game more engaging. While the lackluster crowd turnout and a few sleepy spectators might suggest otherwise, Test cricket has a way of surprising everyone with unexpected twists and turns.
The India vs West Indies 2nd Test continues with the hope that the action will intensify, capturing the attention and excitement of spectators and cricket enthusiasts alike.
