Indian captain Rohit Sharma led the team from the front. He scored his third consecutive fifty-plus in the ongoing tour of the West Indies, his fastest half-century in Test cricket.
Rohit Sharma breached the fifty in just 35 balls. Mohammad Siraj led the Indian bowlers with 5 wickets in the first session of the fourth day.
Rohit combined with Jaiswal for a quick 98-run opening stands off 71 balls as India added to their first-innings lead of 183 runs. The opening stand was second behind Marcus Trescothick and Michael Vaughan (10) in run-rate (8.28).
Captain Rohit made a big impression on the scoring charts of the ongoing Test series in his opening match with a century in the first Test in Dominica. This was his second Test century away from home.
Earlier, on 4 days, Mohammad Siraj registered his second Test ‘5 wicket haul’. The first since his heroics in the 2021 Gabba Test. Debutant Mukesh Kumar took a couple of wickets for India. So did Ravindra Jadeja, whose long-time spin partner Ravichandran Ashwin also managed another wicket.
At the end of the fourth day, West Indies lost 2 wickets and scored only 76 runs. They need to score 289 runs to win this test. On the other hand, India needs to pick up 8 more wickets. Otherwise, the match will be a draw.
