A clinical India completed one of the most ruthless whitewash in recent times, demolishing a listless Windies by 10 wic𒁏kets in the second Test, inside three days, to clinch the series 2-0.
Umesh Yadav’s maiden 10-wicket haul (6/88 and 4/45) on a decent track was the highlight as India reached the meagre victory target of 72 in 16.1 overs, courtesy unbeaten partnership between openers Prithvi Shaw (33) and KL Rahul (33).
The visitors were back to their worst despite showing signs of fight in the first innings as they couldn’t last two full sessions on Day 3 and were bowled out for 127 in only 46.1 in their second innings.
Here’s how Twitter reacted:
Clinical performance by to win this Test Series. Congratulations on another f🎀ine effort in the 2nd innings to bag your 10 wicket haul.

Extremely top effort from Umesh Yadav to take a t♚en-fer in a test at home. The fact that among fast bowlers only the greats Kapil Dev and Srinath have done it at home shows how rare a feat this is
— Mohammad Kaif (@MohammadKaif)
Special effort that by for his maiden ten w🎐icket 💃haul. Not that easy in India for a fast bowler. Well done 👍

Top quality effort -To get 10 wickets in a match on a pitch which hardly had anything to offer for fast bowling is very special. Ke𝔉ep the rꦏhythm going fella!

Another crushing win for India. To start favourites is one thing, to treat the opposition like that qu🦩ite another. Delighted for Umesh Yadav.

Prithvi Shaw (18 years and 339 days) is second youngest in Test🐎 history to hit the winning runs. Youngest: Pat Cummins (ജ18 years and 197 days) vs South Africa, Johannesburg, 2011.

Tremendous series win for India
Highlights for me:
-Emergence of youngsters-Prithvi Shaw, Rishabh Pant
-Umesh Yadav’s performance in Hyderabad
-Ajinkya Rahane finding form
-Jadeja’s ton in Rajkot. Will be interesting who gets picked inꦛ XI in Aus—Jadeja, Ashwin or Kuldeep— Sarang Bhalerao (@bhaleraosarang)
D🥃ominant performance from India. This is their 10th consecutive Test series win. They join the Australian team who have claimed that honour twice. Would be surprised if they don’t win their 11th at home on the trot

With 10 wickets across the ඣtwo innings is the Player of the Match 👏💙👏
