‘Relieved’ following WI vs. IND. During the first Test, Virat Kohli relaxes after blasting his third boundary in 160 deliveries.

Because he was aware of the Dominica pitch’s sluggishness, former India captain Virat Kohli, 34, batted with extraordinary grit against the West Indies. He had a very long time to get comfortable, and the 41st ball was when he hit his maiden boundary. The cricket player continued to adapt his style to the circumstances even after that.

Notably, he occasionally appeared to be having trouble since the pitch was designed to favor the bowlers. However, Virat Kohli  persevered and managed to score his third boundary after 160 deliveries, at which time he slightly celebrated and exhaled in relief because at one point, scoring runs had been quite difficult.

On numerous social media sites, the incident’s picture quickly gained popularity. The cricketer was anticipated to reach the three-digit barrier, but he again fell short. Due to his recent struggles with red-ball cricket, Kohli was expected to eventually strike a century but he only managed to score 76 runs against a West Indies bowling attack that was not particularly strong. When Rahkeem Cornwall returned on Day 3 after missing the majority of Day 2 due to a chest ailment, he almost instantly took the great cricketer’s wicket.

India wins the game 1-0.
The visitors scored 421 runs in the first inning, making it appear exceedingly unlikely that the home side would mount a comeback in the second inning. The cricketer picked up a superb seven-for to hold the West Indies to 130 runs, which is noteworthy. Ravichandran Ashwin once again worked his magic in the middle. As India won the game by an innings and 141 runs, Ravindra Jadeja assisted him superbly in the middle, taking two wickets and Mohammed Siraj, a pacer, one.

Yashasvi Jaiswal received the Player of the Match trophy in the meantime for his outstanding performance with the bat. The teenage cricketer scored 171 runs, becoming one of the select few to do so on their debut.
