India vs West Indies, Day 2: Quick Flicks

4. Shillingford grabs another 5-wicket haul:

Shane Shillingford once again bowled a marathon spell and ended up with the figures 43-6-179-5, grabbing another 5-wicket haul in an innings. This is his fifth 5-wicket haul and all the five have come consecutively, which is a world record.

5. Best strives hard:

Tino Best bowled really hard but he was guilty of being too optimistic. There was even an occasion where he went up to Sachin and tried to sledge him. But the master who has seen such incidents for 24 years, treated it as a friendly gesture. Finally, Best got Dhoni’s wicket.

6. Sammy also gets a 5-wicket haul:

Darren Sammy also grabbed a 5-wicket haul but not by bowling but by fielding in the slip cordon. He grabbed a total of 5 catches which included Vijay, Tendulkar, Kohli, Bhuvaneshwar and Dhoni. Among all of these, the best one was Sachin Tendulkar’s catch which was a complete blinder. But stunningly, as he took the catch, Sammy looked upset as the Master was out.

7. History repeats:

Just like Sachin Tendulkar who was a ball boy for the 1983 cricket World Cup, his son Arjun Tendulkar was seen as a ball boy in his father’s 200th and last Test match. Also, Aamir Khan came in wearing the same T-shirt which he felt was lucky for Sachin. The other celebrities spotted were Hrithik Roshan, Rahul Gandhi, Yuvraj Singh and Neeta Ambani.
