AHMEDABAD, India :Opener KL Rahul notched his 11th test hundred to keep India on track for a potentially decisive first-innings lead against West Indies on day two of the opening test in Ahmedabad on Friday.

The hosts, sitting pretty on 218-3 at lunch, lost the wicket of skipper Shubman Gill (50) on the second morning but are 56 runs ahead at the Narendra Modi Stadium.

Rahul, who has hit 12 fours, was batting on 100 at the break with Dhruv Jurel on 14 at the other end.

India had bundled out West Indies for 162 on Thursday and hit the accelerator when Gill and Rahul resumed on day two.
