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. 🙌 pic.twitter.com/zz2HD8nkES

The last time India played at Dominica’s Windsor Park, Rahul Dravid was a senior player and Virat Kohli was making his Test debut.
The upcoming series between West Indies and India will be a special one for head coach Rahul Dravid and senior pro-Virat Kohli, who played at the same venue in 2011 as teammates but will be preparing for the challenge in a different capacity this time. Kohli made his Test debut during India’s 2011 tour of the West Indies, while Dravid was one of the team’s veteran players.
Now, twelve years later, Kohli has returned to the venue as a senior player, while Dravid serves as the team’s chief coach. As the only two members of the 2011 squad to travel to the Caribbean for the two-match Test series, the duo will undoubtedly experience a sense of nostalgia.
