Rajkot, Oct 6: A dominant Team India registered their biggest-ever win in Test cricket by defeating a toothless West Indies side by an innings and 272 runs here on Saturday (October 6) in the Rajkot Test.
The No. 1 ranked side wrapped up the game within 3 days and were hardly challenged by the lower-ranked West Indian side in any department.
After enforcing follow-on by bundling the tourists out for 181 in the first innings, the Indian bowlers maintained same intensity to wrap up the second innings for 196. Kuldeep Yadav (5/57) grabbed his career's maiden five-wicket haul and starred for India in the second innings.
Ravindra Jadeja (3/35), Ravichandran Ashwin (2/71) took the remaining five wickets in the second innings to hand the tourists another big defeat. Kieran Powell (83) was the lone bright spot in the second innings for the visitors while no other batsmen showed any patience and looked in a mood to trouble the Indian bowlers.
So 8 sessions is all it took. That’s as clinical as it gets. Really impressed with the all-round bowling effort. #IndvWI

Almost every Windies batsman played irresponsible shots and ended up gifting their wickets and hardly learned any lessons from their batting errors in the first innings. The tourists were struggling at 94/6 at stumps on day two and the storyline remained the same on the next morning as well when their remaining four wickets perished in the opening session on day three.
After being dismissed for 181, the tourists were invited to bat again as the Indian captain enforced the follow-on. The spirited Indian bowling attack once again put up a spirited show and got the remaining 10 wickets on day three itself.
Earlier, riding on Prithvi Shaw's phenomenal ton on debut on day one, skipper Kohli (139) and Jadeja (100 not out) made hundreds, India put up a mammoth 649 for nine in their first innings before declaring at tea. It was a maiden Test ton for Jadeja, who had to wait for almost six years to reach three figures in the five-day format.
As it happened:

Prithvi Shaw gets the man of the match award for his 134-run knock in his debut Test.
Will the series against West Indies' give India the necessary preparation for the Australia tour?
West Indies annihilated in under 3 days. Not quite the hard preparation India are seeking before the tour Down Under

This is the Biggest Innings win for India in Tests.
Wicket! Ravindra Jadeja takes the wicket of Shannon Gabriel (4) and West Indies have been bundled out for 196. They've lost the match by an innings and 272 runs. Another clinical win by Virat Kohli and his boys at home.
Wicket No. 9! West Indies are falling apart in the second innings as well. Sherman Lewis (4) is trapped LBW in front and Ravindra Jadeja gets his second wicket of the innings.
Play resumes after tea break and Ravindra Jadeja starts with a maiden over. Ashwin bowled the next over and Sherman Lewis got off the mark with a boundary. WI - 190/8 after 46 overs.

Wicket! Devendra Bishoo (9) becomes 8th West Indies wicket to perish. Rishabh Pant takes a sharp catch behind the stumps and skipper Kohli went upstairs to review it. The ultra-edge confirmed the ball brushed his glove and umpire Nigel Long had to change his decision. WI - 185/8 in 44 overs and it's tea time at Rajkot.
Boundaries are coming for West Indies and the scoreboard is ticking but none of the batsmen are showing discipline and patience to stay on the crease.
Another wicket! Keem Paul's cameo ends as he's caught at long-off for 15. He tried to take the aerial route but couldn't get the elevation this time and Umesh Yadav takes a simple catch. Ravindra Jadeja gets a wicket. WI - 172/7.
Wicket No. 5 for Kuldeep Yadav in this innings and it was the big wicket of Kieran Powell for 83. This is the first fifer for the chinaman in Tests. West Indies have lost their sixth wicket in the course. WI - 151/6

Wicket! Kuldeep Yadav gets another wicket in a gap of 3 three balls and new-man-in Sunil Ambris is out for duck. Quick glovework from Rishabh Pant ensures the batsman was way out of his crease. WI - 97/4

I like a lot of players in this team. Brathwaite, Hope, Chase, Holder, Gabriel. But like others before them, they are showing a lot of promise but not becoming the players we think they can. https://t.co/vwMzdffPW7

Fifty comes up for West Indies with a mighty six off Umesh Yadav. The tourists are batting well in the second innings.
Kieron Powell and Shai Hope resume innings in the post-lunch session and Powell targets R Ashwin in the very first over for a maximum and a boundary. WI - 43/1.
Lunch Time at Rajkot! West Indies are 33/1 as the umpires signal lunch break. This has been a dominant first session for India as they have picked up 5 wickets in 28 overs. West Indies scored 120 runs, but lost wickets at regular intervals as well.
And, that's Lunch on Day 3 of the 1st Test.
