India inflicted an embarrassing 318-run defeat on the West Indies in the f🐭irst Test as Jasprit Bumrah dismantled the hosts with a five-wicket haul after Ajinkya Rahane scored his first century in two yea💖rs, on Sunday.
West Indies were chasing a mammoth 419-👍run target, but the Indian pacers led by Bumrah demolished the hosts, who were bowled ou🌞t for a mere 100 in 26.5 overs in the final session of the fourth day.
It was a Bumrah show in perfect weather conditions as he sent the wic👍kets cart-wheeling thrice during his eight-over spell in which he cꦍonceded just seven runs.
The win also made Virat Kohli the joint-most successful Indian Test captain along with MS Dhoni as it was his 27th win as skipper in the longest format of the game. Kohli is now the most successful overseas Test captain for India as he went past Sourav Ganguly’s tally of 11 wins on the road.
Here’s how Twitter reacted:
Em🐻phatic victory for India! Excellent effort by our pacers, especially in the 1st innings and in the 2nd innings.

Happy for Rahane. But Jasprit Bumrah in the second innings was absolutely unplayable. Fiist Asian bowler to take a 5-for in all 4 countries – Australia, South Africa, England and West Indies .

Bumrah's O-M-R-W is currently 8-4-7-5. I'm going to make this my ATM PIN.

India do a wonderful job of ma♐naging Jasper Bumrah’s workload so far in his career. What a wonderful exponent he is. Archer, Afridi, ෴Rabada, Cummins, Lockie Ferguson. Quite exciting for world cricket!!!
