WI vs IND: Dream Test debut for Rahkeem Cornwall against India

Rahkeem Cornwall's name is right now on everyone's lips as the Windies cricketer makes his much-awaited debut against India in the second Test match at Sabina Park in Kingston, Jamaica on Friday.

Cornwell weighs around 140 kilograms, which makes him the heaviest cricketer to play Test cricket ever. 

Australia's Warwick Armstrong, who weighed 133-139 kgs was the record holder until Friday when Cornwall broke the record, earning his first cap for the senior side. 

The 26-year-old came in as a replacement of an unfit Shai Hope, who failed a late fitness Test.

"There is a bit of moisture here. So we will try to get into India's middle-order early. We have a couple of changes. We have to focus on the roles and not the results. We have to be a lot more disciplined. The last time we played here Roston Chase got a fifer," said Holder.

West Indies won the toss and opted to bowl first and seen then their bowlers have managed to maintain constant pressure on the Indian batsmen. 

So far today, the leg-spinner has been involved in both the dismissals of KL Rahul and Cheteshwar Pujara.  

In the sixth over, Rahul edged a steaming delivery from Jason Holder and Cornwall at slip took an easy catch.  Later on, in the 16th over, Cornwall's cleverly floated delivery saw Pujara lift an easy catch towards Shamarh Brooks who made no mistakes.
