Rishabh Pant missed his century by 8 runs:

The flamboyant batsman went berserk with his willow against Windies bowling attack. He showed his class whenever the ball is on the offer to secure a boundary for the team.

However, just when things looked set for him to score his second consecutive century, he top-edged Devendra Bishoo to cover-point thus walking back with the agony in his heart.

It is also his maiden Test match in India as well. All in all, he proved his worth to the Indian team with his impressive tally of 92. Coming to the match progress, India comfortably sat in the driving position at Rajkot.
