The Indian skipper Rohit Sharma is leading the Indian team from the front on the West Indies tour till now. In the first test match, the skipper scored a century and now in the second test match, he played a brilliant knock of 80 runs and stitched a partnership of 139 runs with Yashasvi Jaiswal (57 runs) for the first wicket.
On the first day of the second test match, Rohit Sharma also broke the record of former Indian skipper MS Dhoni as he surpassed the Captain Cool in terms of becoming the fifth highest run-getter for India in the international cricket.
Till now, Rohit Sharma has scored 17,298 runs (44 centuries, 92 fifties) in 443 games and MS Dhoni who retired from international cricket in 2020 scored 17,092 runs (16 centuries, 108 fifties) in 523 matches.
Sachin Tendulkar holds the record for scoring the highest number of runs across all the formats as he has scored 34,357 runs in 64 matches.
As far as the match is concerned, the Indian team ended the day 1 at the score of 288/4 and Virat Kohli was just 13 runs away from scoring a century. The Indian cricket lovers are highly hopeful that the former Indian skipper Virat Kohli will surely score a century as he has come quite close to miss it.
India is already leading by 1-0 in the series and they will certainly like to whitewash the series by winning the second test match. On the other hand, the hosts will like to save some respect by winning this test match.
