IND vs WI 2nd Test: India sniff series sweep; WI need 289 more runs to win
That's a smashing way to bring your maiden Test 50*@ishankishan51
India raced to 100 runs in 12.2 overs, the fastest team hundred in Test cricket history.
At stumps on day four, West Indies were 76 for 2 in 32 overs with R Ashwin removing Kraigg Brathwaite (28) and Kirk McKenzie (0). The hosts need another 289 runs on the final day for an improbable win.
Ishan Kishan also got into the act with an unbeaten 52 off 34 balls in his second Test and shared an unconquered 79-run stand with Shubman Gill (29 off 37).

Coming ahead of Virat Kohli at number four considering the stage of the game, Kishan made the opportunity count with a power packed effort comprising four boundaries and a couple of sixes.
Kishan clobbered Kemar Roach for a couple of sixes, one over extra and the other was a one handed hit over the bowler's head, reminding one of the injured Rishabh Pant. The second six brought his maiden half-century and Rohit expectedly called both Kishan and Gill back into the dressing room.
Just reminding you all of this match too, where Siraj has taken a 5-fer.

— FanCode (@FanCode) July 23, 2023 Rohit himself was in devastating touch in the morning session as he struck his fastest fifty, off 35 balls, in Test cricket.
Rohit and Jaiswal batted on T20 mode after Siraj cleaned up the West Indies lower-order in the first hour of play.
The first over of India's innings went for 11 runs as Jaiswal stepped out to dispatch Kemar Roach over cover for a six before flicking him for a boundary.
