"I think I haven't seen any bowlers bowl so well in the early stage of the innings," Brathwaite said. "They bowled with a lot of discipline. They also set attacking fields and really backed it up with good disciplined bowling."
Replying to India's 566 for 8 declared, West Indies were bowled out for 243. Following on, they ended the day 21 for 1, with Brathwaite dismissed in the first over.
"It's a bit of both," he said, when asked whether West Indies' situation was more a reflection of poor batting or good bowling from India. "As a batsman, you have to know when you have to curb your aggression and defend, or when to attack. I think it's all about individual batsmanship as a whole. It's about having confidence in what you do and building partnerships and bat throughout the third day."
