And it was obvious from their watchful demeanour, as the West Indies had opted for the new ball straightaway. Virat Kohli cantered to his maiden double century in Tests as India cruised to 404 for 4 at lunch on day two of the series opener against the West Indies. The duo batted the entire session, extending their fifth wicket stand to 168 runs as the West Indies failed to pick up a wicket in 29 overs. The West Indies were looking lethargic in the field as the partnership sucked out all energy, even as the wait was now for Kohli s impending milestone. Then he went past his previous Test highest score of 169 scored against Australia at the MCG in December 2014.
