KL Rahul slammed eight fours and three sixes and played 104 balls to get to his century. Talking about India, the hosts made 387 runs on the board, Mumbai batsman Shreyas Iyer made 53 runs from 31 balls. Rishabh Pant’s cameo was quite an exciting one as he made 39 runs from 16 balls. Pant laced his inning scoring four sixes and three fours. It would be interesting to see how West Indies reacts to the total.
