His innings was laced with 15 boundaries.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Besides Shaw, Cheteshwar Pujara also scored a good looking 86 in his own backyard but missed out on a hundred.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Skipper Virat Kohli, who was all smiles when young Shaw raised his bat after reaching the milestone, was at the crease on 4 with vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane (batting 0) with Shaw offering an easy return catch to leggie Devendra Bishoo trying to play against the turn.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Shaw and Pujara added 206 runs for the second wicket as the tourists were sent on a leatherhunt for large parts of the second session.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Shaw&#39;s innings was studded with 19 fours while Pujara hit 14 boundaries before poking at a length ball half-heartedly to wicketkeeper Shane Dowrich off pacer Sherman Lewis, who bagged his first Test scalp.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Earlier, Opting to bat, the hosts lost K.L. Rahul for a duck in the very first over of the two-match series as Caribbean pacer Shannon Gabriel caught the Indian opener in front of the wickets.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Brief scores: India 232\/3 in 51 overs (Prithvi Shaw 134, Cheteshwar Pujara 86, Virat Kohli batting 4, Ajinkya Rahane batting 0; Shannon Gabriel 1\/38)<\/p>\r\n",
