It was the left-handers second century of the tour and the third in the past four Test matches which put the tourists in a commanding position. His milestone was reached just 15 minutes before the lunch interval as he drove http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Ashwin-c2228 through a four- men cover region, to kiss his bat –showing his delight.
The Windies player all stood up and lauded the contribution of their young gun after he ensured that they went into the lunch interval on a high.
It was another dominating session for the hosts, which started off by Bravo himself, punching back to back boundaries from the first two balls off youngster, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Varun-Aaron-c2744 straight down the ground to show an attacking intent.
His partner http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kieran-Omar-Akeem-Powell-c71441 joined the left-hander and looked hardly in any difficulty as he charged down to Ashwin to open up his account.
The day first session though belonged to Bravo as he looked cool and composed and weathered everything that was thrown at his him with considerable ease. He resumed his innings from 57 and looked aggressive in his stroke play from the start.
That helped him and consequently the team, which collected 111 from the first session, their best outing of the tour so far. The Men In Blue bowlers had little assistance from a track, which is tailor made for the batsman.
At 378 for 3, the visitors can easily pile on more misery for the hosts and will bank on Bravo to continue his rich vein of form, especially in the absence of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/S-Chanderpaul-c2390.
It was the 22-year-old’s second century against India after managing the same feat in the previous Test match at Kolkata, where he made 136.
