West Indies, the no 8 ranked side in Test cricket had a shocker of a day as they slumped to 94/6 on stumps at day 2. India after amassing 649/9 continued their domination with the ball as well. Mohammed Shami was the pick of the bowlers as he picked up 2/11 in six overs. India's spinners Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav also picked up one wicket each.

Earlier in the day, Indian captain Kohli blasted his 24th Test ton and proved his class once again. Virat Kohli received a very good support from Rishabh Pant, who scored 92 off 84 balls against a hapless Windies attack.
Rishabh Pant, who made memorable in his debut series in England, played his usual attacking game from ball one, flicking it nonchalantly through square leg to get going. Kohli enjoyed his teammates' fluent strokeplay from the other end as Pant raced to his half-century with a four and six off pacer Paul. Indian batsmen were feeding off poor and erratic bowling attack, who in all fairness looked lethargic and short of ideas.
Ravindra Jadeja after impressing against England in the last Test match at the Oval scored his maiden Test ton and played with attacking style and took the attack to the West Indies bowlers, who were looking tired and demoralised. For WI, Devendra Bishoo toiled hard and picked up 4/217 in 54 overs. Indian team looked back at its best after a difficult tour of England with 18-year-old debutant Prithvi Shaw scoring a magnificent 134 off 154 balls.
