So far, India has dominated the second Test between India and West Indies in Trinidad. While Virat Kohli produced his 29th Test century, half-centuries from Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Ravichandran Ashwin helped India’s first innings total to 438. However, vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane, who returned to the Test team after some strong performances in domestic cricket, has been unable to repeat that form in the two Tests thus far.
In the first Test in Dominica, he was out for 3. Then, in the first innings of the second Test, Ajinkya Rahane was out for 8. All this is giving former India opener Aakash Chopra the feeling that his ‘notice period is on’.

“Ajinkya Rahane – he is the vice-captain of this team for sure but you get the feeling that the notice period is on. It happens with some players and it seems like it is happening with him as well or will happen,” Chopra said on his YouTube channel at the end of Day 1’s play of the IND vs WI 2nd Test.
“He got an inside edge once earlier as well. Then he got it a second time and the ball hit the stumps. It was a session where India lost four wickets and the run-scoring was slow but in the end, India are in a commanding situation.”
Meanwhile, India cruised to a solid first innings score of 438 on Day 2 as the peerless Virat Kohli led his 500th international appearance with a 76th century.
Kohli, who had missed out on a century in the last Test, scored 121 in 206 balls, his 29th in the longest format, matching the legendary Sir Donald Bradman.
Ajinkya Rahane was dropped after bad performance during last South Africa Tour.
