DLF Cup: 2nd match: India vs west indies - Ist Innings.

India got offo to a flying start in their first encounter with the west indies with the little master stroking a brilliant century in his comback match and remain unbeaten with a 148 ball knock of 142 runs which included 31 fours and 5 blistering sizes. After a relatively early setback losing dravid for 27, tendulkar and irfan pathan set to lead india to a solid 200-2 in the first 35 overs. Tendulkar was clearly the highlight of day as India piled up 309 runs for the loss of 5 wickets in 50 overs. West indies have a lot to do in their bowling department as they now have conceded more than 275 runs on their first two encounters of the tournament. It would be interesting to see their reply to this huge total, but seeing their collapse against australia the other day, it would be difficult to expect a miracle. But then this is cricket.
