Vihari cracks maiden ton to lift India to 416
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 31 - 08 - 2019

India were dismissed for 416 in their first innings at tea on the second day of the second and final Test of their series against the West Indies at Sabina Park in Jamaica on Saturday with overnight batsman Hanuma Vihari notching his maiden century.
Vihari frustrated the West Indies attack along with Ishant Sharma who got to his maiden Test fifty, as India piled on the runs in the second session before they were bowled out right before Tea on Day 2.
Vihari patiently carved out his century with Sharma keeping him able company as West Indies seemingly were bereft of ideas. The pair added 112 for the eighth wicket.
Ishant's enterprising knock of 57, off just 80 balls, comprised of seven boundaries. It wasn't an easy pitch to bat on, but Ishant was resilient in his approach and played a vital role in Vihari maintaining his composure to get to his landmark.
Ishant was lucky to escape two run-out chances early on in his innings that West Indies failed to take and made them pay in the end. Vihari eventually got to the three-figure mark with a boundary.
Rahkeem Cornwell got Mohammed Shami soon after and Vihari was the last man to hole out for 111 as India were bowled out, giving skipper Jason Holder his third successive five-wicket haul in Jamaica.
Holder continued from where he left off on Day 1, bowling a beautiful incoming delivery that straightened just enough out to rattle Rishab Pant's stumps on the opening delivery of the day. Vihari, however, showed great composure and judgment to frustrate the hosts.
Vihari and Jadeja, the new batsman, added 38 runs for the seventh wicket before Cornwall was rewarded for his patience. Jadeja's slog-sweep attempt ended in a top-edge to Darren Bravo at mid-on for an easy catch.
Then came the Vihari-Ishant heorics that carried India to a good total on a difficult pitch. — Agencies

India 416 (H. Vihari 111, V. Kohli 76, I. Sharma 57, M. Agarwal 55; J. Holder 5-77, R. Cornwall 3-105) vs West Indies. — Agencies
