Kohli constructed his innings beautifully in the first innings of the second Test. He showed great patience to build this innings. At no stage did he look like trying to hit a risky shot. Kohli admitted that he was not comfortable when he came in to bat as West Indies bowlers were bowling in the right areas. That is the reason he took as many as 21 balls to open his account. Once his eyes got set, he was able to score more freely. 

"For me converting 1 into 2 is easy runs and I am never going to leave that opportunity. I'm not someone who will wait for a period where I score a bunch of boundaries off 10 balls. If I am scoring six boundaries, I am already batting on 90 which keeps me off pressure. My fitness helps me switch between formats easily. I feel I can bat 300 balls, bat at a good strike rate and keep my intensity high," said Kohli at the end of the Day 2's play.

After a good show with the bat in which India posted 438 on the board. The bowlers now need to pick wickets. West Indies have replied to India's total with a better batting show so far in the first innings. WI still trail by 352 runs. Day 3 will decide where this match is heading to.
