India vs West Indies Tests 2018: Captain Virat Kohli Could Equal Pakistan Legend Inzamam-ul Haq’s Record in Hyderabad

India vs West Indies Tests 2018: The 29-year-old India captain has played 72 Tests amassing 6286 runs at an average of 54.66, while Inzy scored 8830 in 120 Tests at an average of 49.60.

India captain Virat Kohli slammed his 24th Test century against Windies at Rajkot and now has the chance of equalling Pakistan legend Inzamam ul Haq’s record of 25 Test centuries. The 29-year-old India captain has played 72 Tests amassing 6286 runs at an average of 54.66, while Inzy scored 8830 in 120 Tests at an average of 49.60. Kohli stands 21st in the rick list of centurions where former Indian batting legend Sachin Tendulkar is at the top of the tree with 51 Test centuries to his name. Tendulkar has scored 15921 runs in 200 Tests at an average of 53.78.

Meanwhile, Virat Kohli-led Team India pulled off their biggest win over West Indies in one of the most ludicrous mismatches in recent times, inflicting on the hapless visitors an innings and 272-run humiliation inside three days in the first Test in Rajkot Saturday. The hosts dominated the game, amassing 649 for nine in their first innings before bowling out the West Indies twice on day three, to take a 1-0 lead in the two-match series.

It goes without saying that the hosts will start as overwhelming favourites. At Hyderabad, the wicket will not be too different from that India played in at Rajkot. The pitch will be batting friendly and the spinners will come into play from Day 3. India in all probability will field the same spinning trio that did it for them in Rajkot, Kuldeep also bagged his maiden five-wicket haul.

Ever thought @imkuldeep18 would commentate on his own 5-wicket haul?

Well, we asked Kuldeep to give it a shot for you guys- by @28anand
