It was the first time Gill had won the toss since taking over as India test captain earlier this year. Wicketkeeper Tevin Imlach, one of two new faces in the West Indies playing XI, had all the time in the world to whip off the bails. West Indies did not help their cause either by dropping Sudharsan when the batter was on 58. Sudharsan looked primed for a maiden test hundred but Warrican dismissed him lbw to end the batter's 193-run partnership with Jaiswal. Jaiswal then drove and cut with elan to inch closer to a third test double hundred.
