A clinical India completed one of the most rඣuthless whitewash in recent times, demolishing a listless Windies by 10 wickets in the second Test, inside three days, to clinch the ser🃏ies 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 fine effort in the 2nd innings toꦰ bag your 10 wicket haul.

Extremely top effort from Umesh Yadav to take a ten-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 hꦯow rare a feat this is

Tremendous series win for India
Highlights for me:

-Umesh Yadav’s performance in Hyderabad
-Ajinkya Rahane finding form
-Jadeja’s ton in Rajkot. Wil🌳l be interesting who gets picked in XI in Aus—Jadeja, Ashwin oꦿr Kuldeep— Sarang Bhalerao (@bhaleraosarang)
Dominant performance from India. This is their 10th consecutive Test series win. They join the Australian team who have claimed that honour twice. W🌌ould be surprised if they don’t win their 11th at home on the trot
