India thrash West Indies on Day 5 of 3rd Test to record historic win, clinch series
India on Saturday produced a splendid performance to clinically decimate West Indies by 237 runs in the third Test, thereby taking an unassailable 2-0 lead in the four-match series.
Having lost an entire day, it was a superb effort by the bowling unit that saw them bundle the West Indies out for 108 in 47.3 overs while chasing a stiff victory target of 346 in 87 overs.
Incidentally, this is the first time in over six decades that India has won more than one Test match in the Caribbean islands. The previous three series victories — 1971, 2006 and 2011 has been by an identical 1-0 margin.
