The freshly formed opening pair against the West Indies in the Caribbean recorded India's greatest opening partnership. The opening partnership of 229 runs between Rohit and Jaiswal is the highest for the Asian giants in Test cricket played outside of the subcontinent.

Further discussing the game, Rohit, the captain of India, scored 103 runs from 221 balls. In the longest and most traditional style of the game, the seasoned Indian opener slammed his tenth hundred.

On Day 2 of the first game of the series, the 36-year-old also reached 3,500 runs in Test cricket. The veteran hitter has been added to an elite list with Virat Kohli. It's interesting to see that only Kohli and Rohit have 3,500 runs across all three formats.

With 8515 Test runs and 12,898 ODI runs, Kohli is the only batsman with over 4,000 runs in T20 Internationals. With his brief appearance on Day 2 at Dominica against the West Indies, the Indian run machine also wrote history.

In the history of Test cricket, Kohli is now India's fifth-highest run scorer. On the elite list, the former India captain has eclipsed great Indian opener Virender Sehwag (8503). On the list of elite players, Kohli is just behind Sachin Tendulkar (15921), Rahul Dravid (13265), Sunil Gavaskar (10122), and VVS Laxman (8781). On Day 2 of the tournament, top batsman Kohli was still undefeated with 36 off 96 balls.
