After taking a 1-0 lead in the two-match series, Rohit and Co. have arrived in Port of Spain for the 2nd Test against hosts West Indies. Days before the start of the 2nd Test, Indian cricketers were seen signing autographs and sharing selfies with Team India aficionados in Trinidad.
Rohit's 'too much beard' reaction takes the cake
