IND vs WI: Skipper Rohit Sharma (103 off 221 balls), also eschewed his natural flair en route his 10th Test hundred and a record 229-run opening stand with Jaiswal (143 batting, 350 balls) as India batted cautiously on day 2
In the process, not only did Jaiswal become the 17th Indian opener to score a Test century on debut and Rohit his second away from India, but the duo even created history with their mammoth partnership of 229 runs. With their double-century partnership, Rohit and Jaiswal registered the highest opening partnership for India against West Indies in Tests, overtaking the previous highest of 159 between Virender Sehwag and Wasim Jaffer way back in the 2006 Gros Islet Test.
