If Rahkeem Cornwall's impact is as big as his frame, the West Indies will have struck gold.
Cricket lovers have been waiting for the day when the 140kg cult hero would grace the Test arena with his imposing presence and that moment finally arrived in the early hours of Saturday morning.
The 1.98m giant is impossible to miss and India's KL Rahul found that out the hard way when he picked out Cornwall in the field to become the first wicket to fall in the second Test of the two-match series being played in the Caribbean.
After losing the series opener to India, the West Indies made a couple of changes and Cornwall wasted no time justifying his selection. He's a big target in the field and Rahul couldn't avoid him as the big bopper snaffled a slips catch off the bowling of captain Jason Holder to send the Indian opener on his way for 13.
Cornwall's dream introduction to Test cricket continued when thrown the ball early in the first session. The off-spinning all-rounder was hit over the top for a boundary before skidding a delivery past the outside edge in his second over, and in his third over he was celebrating his maiden wicket in the five-day format.
