IND WIN FIRST TEST MATCH AGAINST WEST INDIES.

India inflicted a humiliating 318-run defeat on the West Indies in the first Test as Jasprit Bumrah dismantled the hosts with a five-wicket haul afterAjinkya Rahane found his first century in two years on Sunday.

West Indies were chasing a stiff 419-run target but Indian pacers led by Bumrah demolished the hosts, who were all out for just 100 in 26.5 overs in the final session of the fourth day.

SCORECARD: 

India vs West Indies, 1st Test

It was a Bumrah show in perfect weather conditions as he sent the wickets cart-wheeling four times during a sensational eight-over spell in which he conceded just seven runs. Playing his 11th Test, he also became the fastest India pacer to take 50 Test wickets.

Bumrah swung the ball both ways to torment the home batsmen while Ishant Sharma (3/31) and Mohammed Shami (2/13) too contributed in India's resounding victory which gave them a 1-0 lead in the two-match series.

Kemar Roach (38), Miguel Cummins (19 not out) and Roston Chase (12) were the only batsmen  managed double-digit mark. Roach added 50 runs for the last wicket with Cummins but it just delayed the inevitable.

No top-order batsman could resist the furious spell from Bumrah, who first dismissed openers Kraigge Brathwaite (1) and John Campbell (7) and later saw the back of Darren Bravo (2), Shai Hope (2) and Jason Holder to complete his five-wicket haul.

It is India's fourth-biggest Test win but biggest in away Tests as winning by 337 runs against South Africa in Delhi in 2015-16 remains their best ever.

The result gave Virat Kohli the joint-most number of victories as India captain, tying for 27 wins with MS Dhoni.

He has also gone past Sourav Ganguly (11) for most away wins as India captain.

After resuming the day at 185 for three, Rahane scored a patient 102-run knock but young batsman 

Hanuma Vihari (93) missed out on his maiden Test ton by just seven runs.

India declared their second innings at 343 for seven, the moment Vihari was dismissed. They raised a 135-run partnership for the fifth wicket after India lost skipper Virat Kohli (51) early during the fourth day's play.

Kohli's scalp did not help West Indies much as Rahane and Vihari gradually took the game away from the hosts with their confident yet contrasting batting.

It was Rahane's first Test hundred since his 132 against Sri Lanka in August 2017 while Vihari threw away a golden opportunity to get his maiden hundred in only his fifth match.

Rahane's patient knock came off 242 balls with just five shots to the fence but Vihari paced his innings nicely. The Hyderabad batsman hit 10 fours and a six in his 128-ball knock with an impressive strike rate of 72.65.

Kohli made historic winning against West Indies. 100th winning as a captain for Virat Kohli in just 150 matches. He is 3rd Indian 

& only the 12th with 100 International wins as skipper only Ricky Ponting (134),Steve waugh (150), & Hansie Cronje (151) had 100 international wins as captian in fewer games than kohli.
