That was the first test of Vihari hundred while Ishant reached the first fifty test.

"He looked more like a drummer than me as he was going," Vihari told reporters at the end of the day. "We talked about what the bowlers were trying to do, and their experience was very important in that, when you hit No. 6, the intent should be positive, at that position you'll hit a drummer and then a wicket will come down and you are with the counter or lower order.

"When I came in, Virat (Kohli) was blowing well, the trust was gone and I started very well, and today it was very different. It was not fluid, it's like that in Cricket Test and as I said a lot of credit goes to Ishant. "

Vihari said that he was not able to sleep well after the first day and wished to be patient during Saturday's first session, while Caribbean bowlers were looking to clean the lower-order Indian.

"When I spent the night at 42, I did not sleep very well.My thoughts were how to make a big score and I'm happy to have crossed this three-digit mark. I am really happy to have a hundred such conditions, "he said.

"I knew they would come out loud in the first session, that's the best way to get us out early, they got an early wicket but I just wanted to fight patiently, wait for the balls that were in my area, I was knocking I was patient, they were really good at bowling.We scored 400 and over but that does not show how they played.It was tough conditions and I really loved that, "he said.

Vihari said that he dedicated this century to his late father. "My father died at the age of 12 and since I decided that when I would play international cricket, I would dedicate him my first 100. Today is a very busy day and I hope he will be proud wherever he is, "he said. .

The 25-year-old also said that Ishant's performance with the bat in this series showed that India's tail could also produce runs. "They all work very hard in the net, and the way Ishant defeated in this series shows the character of this team.In the final match, Ishant and (Ravindra) Jadeja have also established a crucial partnership, always contributing to good teams. and we are really happy to have achieved it, "he said.

The heroes of Vihari and Ishant, however, were eclipsed by Jasprit Bumrah, who managed a hat trick later in the day as India reduced the West Indies to 87/7. Bumrah ended the day with six wickets.

"It's a good bowler." Any opposition would seem to be afraid to face Bumrah – we all recognize him and we really enjoy watching him play – we're really happy that he's in our team rather than in the opposition, he has a long career in front of him, and I wish he took a lot more hat tricks, "said Vihari.
