Mukesh Kumar is making his debut for India in place of Shardul Thakur. It is a historic occasion as the second Test at Port of Spain is the 100th Test between the two sides. India and West Indies cricket rivalry has spanned two eras. One, when WI was a formidable force in cricket and India was an underdog. And the other, which saw India rose as a cricketing superpower while WI lost the glory and prestige they enjoyed in the 70s and 80s. In all, they have played 99 Tests, including the first Test in Dominica last week. Out of these, India has won 23 Tests, WI has won 30.
