‘We’ll play with positive intent’

India hammered West Indies by 237 in the third Test here on Saturday to grab an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series. 

“The team is feeling really good, especially because we didn’t have a day of play in Jamaica and fifth day was really testing for us. We didn’t get the result we wanted. Here also we played two good days of Test cricket, then lost day 3, but again on day 4 bowlers came back and executed what we wanted to,” said Kohli after the day’s play. 

“So the team is really happy that we could execute our plans and wrap up the series here. Now we can play with more positive intent in Trinidad and express ourselves fully and understand the areas we still need to improve on.” 

The visitors had made three changes for this match, and while they were reduced to 130/5, it worked out fine in the end as things came together on day five. 

India had declared their second innings at 217/7 and then bowled out West Indies for just 108 runs.
