Hyderabad, Oct 14: Team India claimed yet another emphatic win as they defeated a spirited West Indies by 10 wickets and folded up the second Test match within three days here on Sunday (October 14).
Chasing a paltry target of 72 runs, Indian openers Prithvi Shaw (33*) and KL Rahul (33*) as India overhauled it without any loss. Shaw - who scored a sublime 70 in the first innings - hit the winning runs for his team after Windies bowlers put up a spirited show with the ball in the morning session of the third day.
Jason Holder claimed his first five-wicket haul on Indian soil as the tourists got 6 Indian wickets in the morning session to restrict them to 367. India started the day's play at 308/4 but managed to add 60 runs and lost six wickets in the process and took a slender 56-run lead.
After starting with the second new ball, Holder got the wickets of set Ajinkya Rahane (80) and Ravindra Jadeja (0) in the same over to push the hosts on the backfoot and his bowling partner Shannon Gabriel too ensured the pressure isn't released from the other end.
Soon after Gabriel's strategy of bowling short-pitched bouncers to another set batsman Rishabh Pant paid off when the southpaw was dismissed for 92. It was the second consecutive occasion when the Delhi-lad was dismissed on that score and left his team in the lurch.
In a space of 16.1 overs, India lost five wickets for 25 runs to move from a comfortable 314 for 4 to 339 for 9 before Ravichandran Ashwin (35 of 83 balls) made a useful contribution. His innings, along with the last wicket partnership of 28 runs with an injured Shardul Thakur, could prove to be important in the larger context of the match. India now have a first innings lead of 56 runs.
In response, Umesh Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja starred in the second innings and bundled the tourists for 127. Umesh (4/45), Jadeja (3/12), R Ashwin (2/24), and Kuldeep Yadav (1/45) came back strongly in the second innings.
In the second innings, Umesh started the proceedings for India and got the wicket of Kraigg Brathwaite for duck and opened the floodgates.
As it happened:
This brings us to the end of this live update. We'll see you on October 21 when these two teams will face each other in shorter format, white ball and coloured outfits.
Virat Kolhi, India skipper: We didn't expect it to finish in three days in the morning, to be honest. They (WI) played really well to put us in a tough situation and getting 56 runs was a bonus after the situation we got ourselves into. We would have liked a much bigger lead, but again with the ball we were clinical and we needed to step up. At home where we understand the conditions very well, we know how to put the opposition under pressure and how to create that pressure. We thought the game could go onto the fifth day if the teams kept playing the way they did. We were really good today and deserved to win. If you look at the three guys who've come in they've grabbed their opportunities really well - Vihari in England, Rishabh has been doing the job wonderfully for us in the middle and Prithvi getting the MoS in his first series was outstanding. But I would like to single out Umesh.

Jason Holder | Losing skipper: A little disappointed with the way we batted in the second innings. After the fightback yesterday we tried to push forward today. But India played commendably and outplayed us. In hindsight a lot of seamers got wicket, Umesh got ten wickets, I got a fifer and maybe an extra seamer would have helped. We need to give ourselves a better chance with the bat - bat deep after getting set in. Personally I am in a good head space; I am playing good cricket and love playing through aches and pains. I love playing Test cricket.
Bad luck for Windies!
This is only the second time in cricket history that a side has lost a 5-day Test in 3 days despite scoring 300+ runs in match's first innings.

Rohit Sharma praises Umesh!
Special effort that by @y_umesh for his maiden ten wicket haul. Not that easy in India for a fast bowler. Well done 👍 #Ninja

Prithvi Shaw is the find of the series!
Watching young @PrithviShaw bat is an absolute delight. Quite a few contenders for Man of The Series. He’s mine.

Prithvi Shaw hits the winning runs as India beat Windies by 10 wickets and completed series win. This is 10th consecutive series win for India at home.
Scores have been levelled! Seems Prithvi had asked Rahul to hit the winning runs hence the senior batsman defended all the balls he faced.
Umesh Yadav had a special game!
To add to this, Umesh Yadav also become the 8th Indian fast bowler to take 10 wickets in match for India in Test history. Ishant Sharma - 10/108 v WI in Jun 2011, the previous bowler to achieve this feat. #INDvWI https://t.co/opBsMC7lqz

After 13 overs India have reached 57/0, 15 more runs are needed to win this game. The game is being extended by 30 minutes to get a result on third day itself.
50 comes up for India in the 11th over for no loss. India now require 22 more runs to win this game. 4 more overs are to go in this day's play.
Survives! Prithvi Shaw charges down the ground to hit Bishoo for a big score, misses it completely and keeper Hamilton failed to grab the ball and effect a simple stumping to give a breather to the teenager. India 46/0 after 9 overs.
After 8 overs India have reached 40/0. They need 32 more runs to win and there 7 more overs to go before stumps on Day 3.
Windies take DRS as Shaw tried to duck the short-bouncer from Holder. The ball tracking showed the ball could have hit the top of the stumps but it was umpire's call that saved the youngster.
Jomel Warrican has been introduced into the attack by skipper Holder in the second over and KL Rahul hammers him for flat six on the final ball of the over. India - 14/0 after 2 overs.
KL Rahul and Prithvi Shaw are out into the middle to start India's run chase of 72. Jason Holder starts with the new ball for his team.
Umesh is the third pacer after Kapil Dev (1980, 83), Javagal Srinath (1999) to claim 10 wickets in a match on Indian soil.
Best match figures by Indian pacers at home:

11/146 Kapil Dev v Pak (Chennai 1980)
10/133 UMESH YADAV (in this match)#INDvWI
WICKET! Umesh Yadav castles Shannon Gabriel (0) on the very first delivery of his new spell and that's 10th wicket for the pacer in the match. His first-ever. Windies have been restricted to 127 in 2nd innings. India need 72 to win this game.
Wicket! Warrican has been cleaned up by Ashwin for 7 and Windies have lost their 9th wicket. The lead is worth 70.
Wicket! Ravindra Jadeja gets another wicket as he traps Sunil Ambris for 38. The batsman tried to play a sweep shot and the ball crashed right into his pads. He went upstairs but the umpire's decision stands. WI - 109/8.

Wicket! India get the wicket of captain Holder (19) via #DRS after umpire turned down their appeal of caught behind. Pant was confident and Kohli went upstairs immediately and ultra edge confirmed there was a faint edge from his bat. Jadeja breaks the partnership between Ambris and Holder. WI - 108/7
WI reach 107/6 after 35 overs. The partnership between Holder and Ambris is reviving the tourists as they now lead India by 51 runs.
100 comes up for West Indies in the 32nd over and the lead has now reached 48 for the tourists. Ambris - 36* and Holder - 16* have added 34 runs together. India need a wicket as WI reach 104/6.
100 comes up for West Indies in the 32nd over and the lead has now reached 48 for the tourists. Ambris - 36* and Holder - 16* have added 34 runs together. India need a wicket.
Holder and Ambris are back into the middle to resume batting in the third session. These two are capable of putting up a resistance and revive their team.
It's Tea! West Indies are 76/6 after 27 overs and they lead India by 20 runs. Umesh Yadav has bagged 3 wickets in this innings. While Ashwin, Kuldeep and Jadeja have picked one wicket each.
