Sachin Tendulkar may have missed out on a fairytale hundred, but there were two young Indian batsmen who managed to notch three-figure scores. The first came off the bat of a young man who stood for a good part of his innings watching Tendulkar from the other end. The second came off the bat of another young man who remains the torch-bearer for Mumbai in Team India after Tendulkar.

Cheteshwar Pujara and Rohit Sharma showed that the future of India's batting was in good hands. Pujara played a big one for the first time in this series, setting himself up mentally for the tour of South Africa that lies ahead. Sharma took off from where he had left in Kolkata, adding meat to the restored reputation and further cementing his spot at No. 6 in the Indian team.

The two centuries were scored in contrasting styles. In the morning, when Pujara resumed at an unbeaten 33, the West Indies pacers - Tino Best in particular - showed renewed energy running in with the ball. There was pace to counter and Pujara did well, staying around, getting his runs and not let the momentum break with Tendulkar batting at the other end.
