Second day wasn’t started as good as everyone expected for team India. Openers Shikhar Dhawan and Murli Vijay started from the overnight score of 37/0 but they couldn’t continue their partnership beyond 42 runs. Dhawan edged the ball onto the wicket and gone back on 23 off 34 balls. Murli Vijay wasn’t either waited for too long to did a mistake and tried to go down the wicket for Shillingford. He went back to pavilion on 26 off 76 balls.
After that too there was no cheer for India as they lost wickets that left them 83 for 5. Cheteshwar Pujara was on 17 runs when he tried to guide the ball over slip region but he couldn’t guide the ball beyond wicketkeeper gloves. Sachin Tendulkar, when came to the crease there was a huge cheer for him from the crowd. He had only managed to score 10 runs which included two boundaries.
After the wicket of Virat Kohli, India were in deep trouble and it seemed at one point that they might lost the advantage they got after finishing West Indies innings on Day 1. “First hour or so was crucial for batting side and if they passed that period without any trouble they would be upper hand in the rest of the day” everyone saying that before second day because there was something for bowler at start. But team India might chosen to not hear all that and they had lost the wickets during that period and they were 83/5.

Shane Shillingford was brilliant for West Indies on Day 2 in fact he was the only bowler who created some trouble for Indian batsman. He picked up four wickets which also include the wicket of master blaster Sachin Tendulkar which created some hullabaloo. Debutant Cottrell and Best were the others who picked up wickets.
Rohit Sharma and skipper MS Dhoni provided them some resistance by adding 73 runs for sixth wicket. Their partnership was broken when Dhoni edged the ball to keeper when he was on 42 runs. But the entertainment for crowd couldn’t end there. Rohit Sharma scored a century on his debut and salvages the team under the dark cloud. He along with R Ashwin, who scored unbeaten 92, putted 198 runs for seventh wicket. With the help of their knocks India finished the day at 354/6 and taken a 129 runs lead.
Score: India: 354/6 , Rohit Sharma 127* and R Ashwin 92*
