IND vs WI 2nd Test: Having the lead 1-0 in the series, India will square off against the host West Indies in the 2nd and last test of India Tour of West Indies 2023. This IND vs WI 2nd Test will be a historic one as it will mark the 100th red-ball game between the two sides. Here we present you the IND vs WI 2nd test Date and Venue, expected strongest playing 11, streaming and broadcasting details.
Team India drilled in Port of Spain in preparation for the IND vs WI 2nd Test after the first test was over in three days. Following a straightforward victory in the first Test in Dominica, Rohit Sharma and company had a two-day holiday from training. The goal is now to extend the domination of 21 years.
Over the past two decades, the Test series between India and the West Indies may have lost the significance it once held. But the two Test matches are of utmost significance since Team India is going through a period of transition. India would extend their reign atop the ICC Rankings if they win the series 2-0.

IND vs WI 2nd test Date and Venue
IND vs WI 2nd test is all set to be played from 20th July to 24th July. The 2nd test of India tour of West Indies 2023 is going to be played at Queen’s Park Oval, Port of Spain, Trinidad. The match will start at 10:00 AM local and 7:30 AM IST.
Strongest Playing XI Prediction
While Ravichandran Ashwin decimated the Windies’ batting order, there have been rumors around that Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid might consider including an Axar Patel option for the second test between India and the Windies, which will begin on July 20.
Out of 24 wickets, as many as 20 ended up going to spinners in the first test, with Ashwin grabbing 12 of them. After only 8 overs, the outcome of the game had been determined when a puff of dust started sprouting from the pitch.
But even on such a surface, India misunderstood the pitch and only chose Ashwin and Jadeja as spinners. India would be set to add Axar Patel as a third spinner because Port of Spain is probably in a similar state.
Here is the expected Strongest Playing 11 of India for IND vs WI 2nd test:
Rohit Sharma
Yashasvi Jaiswal
Shubman Gill
Virat Kohli
Ajinkya Rahane
Ishan Kishan
Ravindra Jadeja
Axar Patel
Ravi Ashwin
Mohammad Siraj
Jaydev Unadkat
