Question, not Doubt.
Actually, both are gramatically correct, but the first one would hardly ever be used. I can only imagine it being used in a particular type of fiction writing, so for most purposes the second one is correct.

I think the second is right😊

The second one is correct as it is talking about something in the past before another event in the past.
