Team's vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane was awarded the man of the match for his knocks of 81 and 100 in the match. Captain Virat Kohli scored a fine fifty in the second innings after failing to do much in the first innings. Kohli was dismissed for 9 in the first innings. Kohli lost some ICC Test rating points due to an unsatisfactory performance from his standards, however, he still continues to be Number 1 ranked player in the Test rankings.
Ishant Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah were the pick of the bowlers for the tourists as both the speedsters picked up five-wickets in the first and second innings respectively. Owing to his impressive bowling effort in the second innings, Bumrah broke into the top-10 in ICC Test bowlers rankings.
Bumrah also completed his fifty Test wickets in that match. He's taken just 11 Tests to achieve this feat and became the fastest pacer from India to this milestone. Bumrah's bowling was lauded by former West Indies pace greats like Andy Roberts and Curtly Ambrose for his consistent show in the red-ball cricket.
Team India also won the limited-overs series against the Windies. They would be aiming for winning the second and final Test match of the series and complete a series sweep.
