IND vs WI: India captain Rohit Sharma brought his 10th Test hundred on Day 2 of the ongoing first Test match against West Indies at the Windsor Park in Dominica.

On the third ball of the 76th over from off-spinner Alick Athanaze, the right-hander smashed a boundary through covers on a full-toss delivery to bring up his 2nd away hundred.

There was no wild celebration from Rohit who did not open his helmet. He just gently raised his bat towards the dressing room with a smile on his face. The likes of Virat Kohli, Rahul Dravid, Ravindra Jadeja and Shardul Thakur were seen applauding the innings from the 36-year-old. He later hugged his batting partner Yashasvi Jaiswal who completed his hundred in the 70th over of India's first innings.

It was only the sixth occasion in the history of Indian cricket that both the openers scored together a hundred in the same innings of an away Test match. Vijay Merchant and Mushtaq Ali vs England (1936), Sunil Gavaskar and Krish Srikkanth vs Australia(1985-86), Virender Sehwag and Rahul Dravid vs Pakistan(2006) Wasim Jaffer and Dinesh Karthik vs Bangladesh (2007), and Murali Vijay and Shikhar Dhawan vs Bangladesh (2015) have achieved the feat earlier.

Rohit got out immediately on the next delivery which lobbed off the pad before kissing his glove. Joshua Da Silva completed a sharp catch in front of the batter. The end of Rohit's 221-ball stay for 103 runs (10 fours and two sixes) also brought an end to a record partnership of 229 runs for the opening wicket.
