India 512-6 vs West Indies, Kohli hits maiden double ton
I just got out because of wrong shot selection. “And we are playing against a very good Indian batting line up on a pitch that is very good as well”, the coach defended.

Estwick added: “Once Kohli was at the wicket, it was very hard to attack. We need to be a bit more patient because the wicket is good”. It has been a challenge. That change is very effective. Legs were exhausted and by the time the third session had started, West Indies were just going through the motion hoping for something to happen. “It was a process for like 10-12 months”, he said. “People don’t understand that I am actually at a lot of peace when I am batting alone out there because I don’t have to interact with too many people and don’t have to listen to their expectations or know what they require of me”. Ajinkya told before the Test match about batting 200 balls, my aim was to bat 150 balls and try and see where I get. With India playing 17 Tests in an arduous cricket season, the skipper’s form with the bat would be crucial to the team’s success.
“All the times I made a hundred”.
India skipper Virat Kohli scored his maiden double century, while Ravichandran Aswhin also hit a hundred to take an upper hand in the match. “To play good cricket, bowlers have to do their job and batsmen have to do theirs”. I made my debut here and it wasn’t a memorable series for me. Once, I had Rohit, and then I had Virat and again Virat now.
Promoted to No. 6, R Ashwin enjoyed some luck in the first hour of the day before strolling to his third hundred against West Indies, taking his average against them to 76.2. I think those are the things that give pressure.
Dropped on 43 by new wicketkeeper Shane Dowrich off fast bowler Shannon Gabriel in the morning session, Ashwin played the supporting role to his captain, Virat Kohli in a 168-run fifth-wicket stand that drained the enthusiasm from the home side before lunch.
“When I walked in and started batting, I felt like Virat was hitting a few shots that were nearly impossible for me to connect”. The rest of the bowlers, as I said, bowled well in patches.
India batsman Shikhar Dhawan plays against West Indies on Day One of the Test match against West Indies at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium. There is good bounce in the wicket. You’ll have to prise them out.

The phlegmatic batsman played a shot totally out of character when a miscued pull sliced a catch to Kraigg Brathwaite at backward point. “When you perform for a certain period of time, people are going to expect things from you, but I take that up as a blessing”. India went into tea at 512 for six.
