Captain Rohit Sharma displayed his exceptional batting skills in the first innings of the opening Test between India and West Indies. Leading from the front, he unleashed his brilliance and achieved a remarkable milestone by scoring his 10th Test century. After a cautious start against the opposition bowlers, he gained momentum in the latter half of his innings and effortlessly executed impactful shots.

Since being promoted as an opener, Rohit has established himself as one of the finest Indian batsmen in the Test format, overcoming the initial struggles of his career.
