West Indies has been struggling in Test cricket for the past six to seven years. India, with a strong line-up, was expected to brush them aside without much struggle. They lived up to it, thrashing their Caribbean rivals by a margin of 237 runs.

The match holds a special moment for Virat Kohli as under him, India moved to the pinnacle of the ICC Test Rankings for the first time when they took a 2-0 lead in the series with their win in St Lucia.

While Jason Holder’s men were impressive with the ball, their batting succumbed to some disciplined bowling by the Indians.

In the first innings, it was Bhuvneshwar Kumar who picked the bones out of the Caribbean batting. The second innings saw a combined effort from the pacers as well as the spinners to bowl the Windies out cheaply.
