🏏India vs West Indies,1st Test: N M Stadium, Ahmedabad, Day 3🏏 - Page 8

3211 days gap between the first and second Test hundred at home for KL Rahul - the longest such gap for an Indian batter between two centuries at home, the previous longest being R Ashwin's 2655 days bw 2013 & 2021.

India consolidate their position. 29 overs | 97 runs | 1 wicket. West Indies were disciplined and should have had more than one wicket to show. Rahul provided a chance early in the session but the outside edge went between keeper and slip. He did not put a foot wrong after that and went on to break his hundred drought at home, just his second out of his 11 Test tons. Shubman Gill was solid during his stay and reached his fifty, but Chase going round the wicket made him attempt something flashy and he perished while playing the reverse sweep. Jurel has walked out and looked composed. The lead is 56 and India still have 7 wickets in hand. They will try to stretch that in the second session and we will be back in 35 mins with all the action..

Rahul's only other Test century at home came against England at Chepauk in Dec 2016 - the only other player from India's current XI who had made his debut then was Ravindra Jadeja.

Roston Chase to Gill, out Caught by Justin Greaves!! Gone! Was it needed? Gill tries to repeat with Rahul had done in the previous over and perishes. The partnership is broken and it is the West Indies skipper who provides the breakthrough. He went round the wicket this over and made Gill do something out of the ordinary, he attempts the reverse sweep but the ball hits him on the glove and lobs to slip, simple catch for Greaves. Fifty and out for the India captain.. Gill c Justin Greaves b Roston Chase 50(100) [4s-5]

Roston Chase to Gill, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

Congratulations to Rahul for his century.

Day 2: 2nd Session - India lead by 120 runs

Justin Greaves to Dhruv Jurel, FOUR, fifty for Jurel. He salutes and then raises his bat. This is a golden opportunity for him with Pant injured and he is making the most of it. Has looked fairly comfortable in his stay and is starting to up the ante. Another short of length delivery, Jurel gets on top of the bounce and steers it behind square to the vacant third man region

Jaddu and Jurel are playing so well and those 2 sixes each Wow

Four sixes at the time of reaching 50 (India)
