Rahul Dravid and Brian Lara played a lot against each other during their illustrious career. They competed against each other in the 1990s and the 2000s, when both players were in their prime and played many big innings for their respective teams.
The Indian coach was happy with his team’s performance and will hope that his team will continue the good form in the next match. However, the win wasn’t easy for Team India.
In the second innings of the match, despite losing Shai Hope early in the innings, the West Indies chase was off to a great start thanks to a 117-run second-wicket partnership between Kyle Mayers (75) and Shamarh Brooks (46) who set the platform for their teammates.
