On Day 2 of the ongoing first Test between India and the West Indies, all eyes were on Yashasvi Jaiswal and skipper Rohit Sharma as they were the overnight batters. However, they did not disappoint the fans as both of them notched up centuries. But, just after scoring the century, Rohit got out the very next ball. Then, Shubman Gill came at number three but scored only six runs off 11 balls.
After that, Virat Kohli came out to bat. However, he was seen in some struggle due to the slow surface in Dominica. But, somehow, he managed to survive and saw off the day alongside Jaiswal. But, during his innings, a video went viral where Kohli was seen celebrating his first boundary with a fist pump. Seeing that fans went crazy and shared their views on social media.
Here is the shared video:
