West Indies captain Jason Holder wins toss, opts to bat

Debut for Shardul Thakur, Mohammed Shami rested

Shardul Thakur has been handed the Test cap

Similarly, in 2013 when India won both Test matches well inside three days, the next tour of South Africa didn't pan out well as they lost the series

In 2011, India dominated West Indies 2-0 in a one-sided series before crashing to a 0-4 defeat against Australia Down Under

Virat Kohli's team might not be able to escape a sense of deja vu as it goes into the second Test

The lop-sided matches are hardly the kind of preparation the Indian team would have wanted before the big-ticket series against Australia starting December

After the hosts won the first Test by a record innings and 272 runs, there are hardly any signs that there will be a change in the script as the second Test promises to be another run-feast
