At the score of 416, the Indian Cricket Team lost their fourth wicket as Nitish Kumar Reddy (43 runs off 54 balls) was sent back to the dressing room by the West Indies vice-captain Jomel Warrican. Before getting dismissed, Nitish built a marvellous partnership (91 runs in 103 balls) with Gill.
After Nitish Kumar Reddy's wicket, the team's wicketkeeper-batter, Dhruv Jurel, came out in the middle to bat. The Indian side finished the first session of Day 2 at 418/4 in 110 overs.
