India suffered a mini collapse in the last 10 overs and made a mess of the batting powerplay to slide from 218/3 to 259/8 and left themselves in danger of getting bowled out inside the 50 overs for 268 in their clash against the West Indies at Chennai on Sunday. Sachin Tendulkar (2) was the first Indian wicket to fall when he got a feather touch off his bat to a delivery by Rampaul, who bowled a fiery opening spell. The Indian score was just eight at that stage. Gambhir and Kohli then tried to steady the Indian ship with a watchful partnership but could not take the score further than 51 when Gambhir (22) became Rampaul's second victim in the ninth over of the innings. Yuvraj Singh came in to join Virat Kohli who had got his eye in by then. The Indian pair went from strength to strength, bringing up respective half centuries to put Indian in the driver's seat. Rampaul ended Kohli's fine knock when he chopped a straightish delivery onto his stumps to give West Indies a much needed breakthrough. Kohli's wicket also ended the 122-run partnership after India lost Gambhir at the score of 51. Yuvraj, though, continued to press on and brought up his hundred off 112 balls, which included 10 fours and a six.
