India racked up 448 for five after opener KL Rahul and middle-order batters Dhruv Jurel and Ravindra Jadeja struck hundreds to flatten West Indies and put the hosts in charge of the opening test in Ahmedabad on Friday.
Jurel's 125 was his maiden Test hundred as he and Jadeja combined in a 206-run stand for the fifth wicket to help India finish day two with a chunky first innings lead of 286.
Jadeja, who hit five sixes in his fluent knock, will resume on 104 on Saturday with Washington Sundar on nine at the other end.
India had bundled out West Indies for 162 on Thursday and hit the accelerator when Shubman Gill (50) and Rahul (100) resumed on day two.
Rahul edged Jayden Seales but the ball sneaked through the gap between the wicket-keeper and first slip to reach the boundary.
Gill charged against Justin Greaves and played a wristy flick over mid-wicket for a four and pulled Johann Layne in the next over for another.
The right-hander hit debutant spinner Khary Pierre for two fours in the same over to put India into the lead en route to a fluent 50.
The India captain then frittered away the start when he was caught in the slip off Roston Chase after playing an ill-advised reverse sweep.
