DAY two of the second Test between India and West Indies promised to be a glorious batting day.

- SWAROOP SWAMINATHAN

The sky was blue, most of the West Indian bowlers were green and the Indian batters couldn't wait to fill their boots. There was a sense of calmness when Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal strode out to the centre shortly before 9.30 AM. Both overnight batters knew they could notch up further milestones in what has already been a big year for the pair. For Jaiswal, a third double beckoned at the age of 23. For Gill, a first century as captain at home and a fifth ton in seven Tests.
