Ravindra Jadeja applauded the shot, which he almost never makes in international games. Even worse, Kohli had to contend with four different bowling styles back-to-back: a left-arm seam from Jaydev Unadakat, an off-spin from Ashwin, a left-arm spin from Jadeja, and a right-arm pace from a local net bowler.

Although Kohli appeared to be in good shape, India wouldn’t anticipate such dry and worn-out grounds in the Test series against a West Indian attack led by pacers. They wouldn’t have anticipated their No. 4 taking such risks while facing Roston Chase or Akeal Hosein.
