NEW DELHI: The world's top-ranked bowler, Ravichandran Ashwin, proved too formidable for the ill-equipped West Indies batting line-up. His second five-wicket haul of the game set up India's commanding victory by an innings and 141 runs in the opening Test of the two-match series on Saturday.
After India declared their first innings at a formidable 421 for five, anticipation was high for an improved batting performance from the Caribbean batters. However, they were simply not up to the task and crumbled to a meagre 130 all out in just 50.3 overs, leading to a decisive three-day finish.
