The first Test of the two-Test series against the West Indies will be played from 22 to 26 August at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium (North Sound, Antiga).

If Virat Kohli wins one more Test win, he will match Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s record of winning the most for India in the longest format of the game. Kohli can achieve this feat in the Test against the Windies starting on Thursday. Kohli has 26 wins in 46 matches as the captain of the Indian team, while Dhoni has 27 wins in 60 matches.

Kohli first became the captain of the Indian team in the Test. Kohli was given the command of the Test team after Dhoni retired from the Test on Australia tour in 2014.

Under his captaincy, Kohli has led India to victories in Australia, England and New Zealand at his home. However, they lost 1-2 and 1-4 in South Africa and England respectively. Kohli gave India a historic 2–1 victory in the Test in Australia last year, ending a 71-year drought.

The Indian team will now play a Test series in the current West Indies tour. After capturing the tour’s T20 and ODI series 3-0 and 2-0 respectively, Team India also has a chance to clear the Caribbean team in the Test series.

The first Test of the two-Test series will be played from 22 to 26 August at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium (North Sound, Antiga). This will be the first match for the two teams under the World Test Championship.
