The pair added 111 runs for the fifth wicket before Virat Kohli decided to declare the innings to set up a target of 410 runs. Vihari has grown in strength and matured as a cricket. He will lead India’s middle-order in the future.

West Indies were upto a daunting task in the fourth innings as they had to chase the impossible to finish the series in level terms. Their batters displayed a better effort but it was not enough to take the game. Shamarh Brooks scored a valiant fifty but the Indian bowlers combined well to secure a 257 runs win.

2-0 as expected. India's bowlers were too powerful, too relentless. And Bumrah was outstanding. Big plus the performances of Rahane and Vihari. And Ishant who is playing his best cricket for the last 18-24 months.

Second successive big win gives India surge in points in World Test Championship. Also highlights strength of the team. West Indies not in the same league but will be disappointed with their performance, especially batting which was as sturdy as roasted papadum

India would have liked more from the top order. The form of KL Rahul is now a worry and he could struggle to hold his place against South Africa.

Why doesn't the WI coach remind Hetmyer that he is playing against Virat who dropped him for a season in RCB? Give the man some goddamn motivation. #WIvIND

Shannon Gabriel is the 12th player to bat for the Windies in the 2nd innings.

This is the first instance in any International format where more than 11 players batted in the same inning. #WIvIND
