Hello everyone! We’re back with our coverage from the India vs West Indies 1st Test in Rajkot. After a dominating display on Day 1, India will be hoping to continue to pile on the runs on the second day as well with well-set captain Virat Kohli and the big-hitting Rishabh Pant still unbeaten.

A century on Ranji Trophy debut. A century on Duleep Trophy debut. A century on Test debut.
Prithvi Shaw, the youngest specialist Indian batsman to be handed a Test debut since Sachin Tendulkar in 1989, looked utterly at ease in his first innings at international level as his 134 off 154 balls laid the foundation for a total of 364/4 on day one of the first Test against West Indies at Rajkot.
Contributing to India’s domination were Cheteshwar Pujara with 86 in a second-wicket partnership of 206 with Shaw, and Virat Kohli with an unbeaten 72 as a threadbare West Indies attack – already without Kemar Roach, they lost skipper Jason Holder before the toss – was punished on a very good batting track.
