India Skipper scores his 24th Test Hundred; visitors find themselves reeling at 94 for six at the end of the second day
If day one was an indication between the gulf between two teams in different halves of international arena, Friday widened the gap in the standard of cricket between India and the West Indies, with the hosts toying with the Caribbeans in all departments.
With captain Virat Kohli and the lower middleorder following the tone set by Prithvi Shaw and Cheteshwar Pujara on the opening day, India declared its innings at the stroke of tea on the second day with a massive total of 649 for nine, its highest ever versus the West Indies in Tests.
The bowlers then gave the visitors a lesson in disciplined bowling with the tired Windies batsmen throwing their bats around as if it were a whiteball game, leaving the side reeling at 94 for six at stumps.
