In a commanding display of cricketing prowess, India clinched a comprehensive seven-wicket victory over West Indies on Tuesday, completing a 2-0 sweep in their test series. K.L. Rahul emerged as the standout performer, crafting an unbeaten 58 to guide India to the win. The triumph was sealed on Day 5, with India resuming at 63-1 and needing just 58 more runs to secure the second test. This victory followed their earlier success in the first test at Ahmedabad, where India triumphed by an innings and 40 runs. West Indies, forced to follow on after being dismissed for 248 in response to India’s formidable first-innings total of 518-5 declared, managed to put up a fight in their second innings. Shai Hope and John Campbell both notched centuries, with Hope scoring his first test century in eight years and Campbell posting his maiden test ton. Their efforts propelled West Indies to 390, ensuring India had to bat again to win. This marked only the fourth instance since 1961 that India was compelled to bat twice after enforcing the follow-on. The result extends West Indies’ winless streak against India to 26 tests, a drought that dates back to 2002.
