Reddy, who smashed his maiden Test century for India last year at Melbourne Cricket Ground against Australia, did not get an opportunity to bat in the first innings as India declared their innings before his turn.

India declared their first innings at 448

India declared their first innings at 448 for 5, holding a commanding lead of 286 runs over the West Indies at the start of the third day of the opening Test on Saturday.

India’s first innings consisted three centuries from KL Rahul (100), Dhruv Jurel (125), and Ravindra Jadeja (104*). The decision to declare overnight was aimed at taking advantage of any assistance the morning pitch might provide.
