Jasprit Bumrah became only the third Indian to scalp a hat-trick in five-day cricket after Hanuma Vihari scored a maiden ton to take the visitors to a commanding position in the second Test against the West Indies (AFP Image)


Bumrah (6/16) on Saturday produced a lethal opening spell and rattled West Indies by picking up the first five wickets, three of which came in successive balls in the ninth over to leave West Indies tottering at 87 for seven at stumps. (AFP Image)

He first dismissed Bravo caught by KL Rahul at the second slip and then had both Brooks and Chase LBW in the next two balls. In fact, the credit for Bumrah’s hat-trick should go to skipper Virat Kohli, who insisted to go for the review after Chase was given not out by on-field umpire Paul Reiffel. (AFP Image)


Shimron Hetmyer (34) was then cleaned up by Mohammad Shami before Bumrah came back to dismiss West Indies skipper Jason Holder. West Indies still trail India by 329 runs with three full days play remaining. (AFP Image)


Vihari scored a career-best 111 off 225 balls with the help of 16 boundaries to held India’s innings together. Together with Ishant (57 off 80 balls), who scored his maiden fifty, Vihari shared 112 runs off 28.3 overs for the eighth wicket to take India forward. (AFP Image)


While Vihari looked rock solid, Ishant gave him the perfect support from the other end as the duo frustrated the West Indian bowlers for a long time. Coming on to bat at the overnight score of 42, Vihari stuck to his task and held one end together to keep India afloat after being sent into bat. (AFP Image)

Jadeja did all the hardwork but gave away his wicket when it mattered. He played a patient knock of 16 off 69 balls but just when it was time to carry on, he top-edged a Rahkeem Cornwall (3/105) delivery to Bravo at mid-on while going for a big slog. (AFP Image)


Vihari and Ishant continued to frustrate the West Indian bowlers after lunch with their resolute batting. Vihari, who scored 93 in Antigua, reached his maiden Test ton in 200 balls with the help of a single off Roach in the 133rd over. (AFP Image)


Ishant was not to be left behind as he followed his senior batsman by reaching his maiden Test half-century off 69 balls with a single off Cornwall in the 136th over. But just after reaching the milestone, Ishant started to lose patience and played some loose shots, which eventually led to his downfall caught by Hetmyer off Brathwaite. (AFP Image)
