Dominica: Before the Dominica Test against the West Indies, Virat Kohli and Rahul Dravid posted a touching message together on social media. This marks the pair's first visit to Windsor Park in 12 years, as they were colleagues there in 2011 during the same match.
Dominica would host a Test match for the first time in six years; the last time was in 2011 during India's tour. The series, which is being led by MS Dhoni, would now be 1-0 in favor of the visitors. In the encounter in Dominica, Shivanarine Chanderpaul's 116 did give them a scare.
India was able to draw the game thanks to players like Murali Vijay, Harbhajan Singh, and Dravid, and went on to win the series 1-0 in the end. The team for the game included a young Kohli, who hit 30 runs in the first innings.

"The only two guys part of the last test we played at Dominica in 2011. Never imagined the journey would bring us back here in different capacities. Highly grateful," said Kohli.
