Roseau (Dominica), July 9 (ANI): Skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni's 65 not out has put India in a strong position against West Indies in the third Test.
Dhoni led four batsmen with half centuries that has put his side in a formidable position on the third day of the Test against West Indies.
The Indian skipper, who was struggling for most of the series, was unbeaten on 65, taking India to 6-308, in reply to West Indies' first innings total of 204 at stumps on the third day of the rain-hit game at Windsor Park.
Earlier, opener Abhinav Mukund and VVS Laxman overcame the pressure inflicted by Fidel Edwards and Darren Sammy to build a platform for a substantial lead, and Suresh Raina and Dhoni ensured India stayed on track.
Mukund supported with 62, Laxman scored 56 and Suresh Raina made 50, Fox Sports reports.
Dhoni added 103 for the sixth wicket with Raina either side of tea.
India hold a 1-0 lead in the three-Test series, following a 63-run victory inside four days in the first Test in Jamaica and a draw in the second Test in Barbados.
India will now hope to create history by becoming the first Indian side to win a Test and one-day international series in the Caribbean. (ANI)
