Trio of tons put India in total control as Windies wilt

Dhruv Jurel scored his maiden Test century as India took complete control on the second day of the first cricket Test against the touring West Indies.

Jurel hit 125 off 210 balls (15 fours, three sixes), becoming the 12th Indian wicketkeeper to score a Test century.

He put on 206 for the fifth wicket with allrounder Ravindra Jadeja at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Friday.

Jurel joined fellow Indian keepers Vijay Manjrekar, Farookh Engineer, Ajay Ratra and Wriddhiman Saha in scoring Test hundreds against West Indies.

Jadeja brought up his sixth Test century, continuing his excellent batting form of recent months, as India finished day two on 5-448, a lead of 286 runs.

Opener KL Rahul also registered his 11th Test century (100 off 197 balls, 12 fours), making it three tons in the day for India.

Jadeja finished the day unbeaten on 104 (176 balls, six fours, five sixes), with Washington Sundar not out on nine.

It was Rahul's first Test ton on home soil since December 2016, when he scored 199 against England in Chennai.

"I am not sure why this is so," Rahul said.

"But I have been focused on maintaining my batting tempo. I really enjoyed batting in English conditions this year. Getting runs there gave me a lot of confidence.

"Coming into this series, I have also worked on my fitness, as these conditions have been quite challenging."

Rahul put on 98 for the third wicket with captain Shubman Gill (50 off 100 balls, five fours).

The tourists were bowled out for just 162 on Thursday, pacemen Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah picking up seven wickets between them.

It is the first time in 15 years India have played a home Test without Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Ravichandran Ashwin, who all retired over the past season.

West Indies have not beaten India for 25 Tests - at home or away - dating back to 2002.

The second match in the two-Test series begins on October 10 in New Delhi.
