Middle-order batsman Hanuma Vihari scored his maiden international century as India take complete control of the second Test against the West Indies at Sabina Park, Kingston on Saturday.

Once the right-handed batsman reaches the mark, Indian team applauded the effort even as he jumped kissed the badge on the helmet. He missed the opportunity to hit a century in the last match, getting out on 93 at North Sound.

The Hyderabad player has 18 hundreds and 29 fifties in 74 First-Class matches.

Resuming on overnight score of 42 runs, Vihari and Ishant Sharma helped India move closer to a bid total after the fall of Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja.
