Chanderpaul equalled Vivian Richards' tally of 24 centuries in Tests and only Brian Lara (34) and Garry Sobers (26) have posted more centuries than Chanderpaul for the West Indies.

Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, with Marlon Samuels' catch, became the first Indian wicketkeeper and the 13th to effect 200 dismissals in Tests - 174 catches and 26 stumpings in 62 matches.

Dhoni, with the stumping of Kraigg Brathwaite, became India's most successful wicketkeeper as he surpassed Syed Kirmani. Brathwaite became his 199th victim in his 62nd Test match - one more than Kirmani who represented India in 88 Tests.

Brathwaite and Chanderpaul shared a stand of 108 for the fourth wicket - West Indies' third stand of 100-plus at Feroz Shah Kotla.

Brathwaite (63 off 212 balls) recorded his highest Test score, and became the second West Indian player to post two half-centuries before reaching 19. Jeffrey Stollmeyer had done the same in 1939.

India's new-look bowling attack started the day's proceedings with Ishant Sharma opening and Umesh Yadav (in pic) bowling in tandem. The pacers, however, ended the day wicketless.
