Inn Break
So that is it from this game and this series! It has been all India and they have won their first Test series of the ICC WTC campaign. West Indies on the other hand, have a lot to ponder about. However, there is still a long time before they play the longest format. There, though will be a lot of cricket action going on. Until next time, take care and goodbye!
Indian skipper, Virat Kohli, says they played really good cricket over the four days and they got the result they wanted. Admits they were put under pressure in few sessions especially while they were batting but they came out well. Further adds Vihari was the stand out but contributions from Rahane, Agarwal and Ishant was excellent. States it was a game full of grit and determination. Tells Vihari is very solid and is very confident about his game and the dressing room is calm when he bats. Also says he is always eager to learn and improve and that shows in his batting. Mentions without the bowlers, the number of Tests they have won, would not have been possible, they bowl with all the heart and his record of being the Indian captain with the most number of Test win is due to his team. Ends by saying Windies' bowling was really good, especially Holder and Roach and they were expecting that before the series to have a tough task with the bat against the Windies bowlers.
Man of the Match, Hanuma Vihari, says the maiden ton feels very good especially after he missed out on one in the last game. Mentions he wanted to be out there and he was looking to stitch partnerships which would take his team to a good total. Reckons you need to be patient on this wicket and need to be selective about which balls to hit and which not to and that was his game plan. Informs he took the same approach in the second innings and it went well for him. Further adds he is looking forward to play a Test match at home as it is a great feeling playing in front of the home crowd.
West Indies skipper, Jason Holder, says that he is disappointed with the performance. Mentions that he has to pay special attention to all the departments. On the bowling performance, he says that they always come and give their 100 percent. On India, he says that they are a quality side and they bowled extremely well. Also admits they needed to bat a lot better and apply themselves which they failed to do in this series. On the pitch, states that the wicket was a good one and he has no complaints about it.
The Windies batters though did show signs of some fight with Brooks scoring his maiden half ton. A couple of other batters also showed some resilience but it was always going to be an uphill task. Once the man who scored the first half ton for Windies in this series was run out. They fell like a pack of cards with Jadeja and Shami being the stars as the two picked up three each. All-in-all it has been a dominating series for the Indians and they have justified why they are one of the best sides going around. Stay tuned for the presentation.
India did have the chance of enforcing the follow-on but they did not do so. They batted again and added 168 runs to the lead of 299 they got after bowling the Windies out for 117. India's best batters in the series did well for them as both Rahane and Vihari notched up half tons. The visitors then declared with around an hour to go on Day 3 and also managed to take 2 wickets.
In reply, the Windies batters once again had no answers to one of the best bowlers going around, Jasprit Bumrah. He demolished the Windies batting line-up with a 6-fer, which included a hat-trick. Just the one Windies batter scored above 20 in the first innings and after that only one result looked likely.
This game also turned out to be another one-sided one in favor of the Indians who did not lose a game on the whole tour. Everything, absolutely everything has gone wrong for the Windies right from the start. They won the toss and elected to field, a decision which could have been questioned. Yes, the conditions on Day 1 were suitable for bowling but the Windies bowlers did not make complete use of it. They let India get a massive score with Vihari getting to his maiden ton. Kohli and Agarwal also made handy contributions.
Just less than two sessions is the answer to the question we asked in the opening text today. Another excellent performance by the Indian bowlers. It was even better in the second session as they made quick work of the remaining 6 wickets.

Ravindra Jadeja To Jahmar Hamilton OUT!
OUT! It is a legal delivery! That was touch and go and in the end, it is ruled in the favor of the bowler. Jadeja's celebration says it all. He is a relieved man. He gets his second. Hamilton comes and Hamilton goes. This is a ripper from Jadeja. It lands on middle and then turns away sharply. There is also some extra bounce. Hamilton looks to defend but the ball kisses the glove and lobs to first slip where KL Rahul takes a simple catch. Hamilton who showed good resistance in the first innings, does not stay out for long this time. India are now three wickets away.
Has Jadeja got another? They have gone upstairs to check the front foot. It looks really close.

Ravindra Jadeja To Shamarh Brooks OUT!
OUT! RUN OUT! Lazy, lazy from Brooks and it has cost him his wicket. He played a defensive push off this full delivery towards cover-point and took off for a single but was sent back by Holder. Kohli from cover got to his left, picked it up and threw it off balance at the keeper's end. Voila! A direct hit. The Indian players were not confident as they thought the batsmen was well in but the replays showed otherwise. Brooks was shown to be lazy in getting back and had he stretched a bit, he would have easily got in. Poor stuff. A run out is never the best way to get out (there never is any good way) but when you do not put a price tag on your wicket, you tend to lose respect.
A direct hit and it has been taken upstairs. Is Brooks short? You never know, direct hits are always close.

He takes a late start and Pant yells at Shami to throw the ball to him. But the speedster does not listen and goes at the bowler's end instead. Misses the stumps but even if he had hit, Brooks was well in. Should have gone at Pant's end.

OUT! CAUGHT! A wicket falls at last. It has taken India 20 overs, probably for the first time in this entire series that they have been made to wait for a wicket.

Coming to the ball, it is a good length delivery around off, Blackwood pokes at it but gets a thick outside edge back to the keeper. There are some animated scenes around, as both Bumrah and Kohli gesture towards someone in the crowd to keep quiet. End of the 61-run stand.

We are back! The Indian players make their way out to the middle and take their respective positions in the field. Jermaine Blackwood and Shamarh Brooks also make their way out to the middle. Ishant Sharma will start the proceedings for the visitors.
... Day 4, Session 2 ...
India, on the other hand, were getting the ball to swing but were quite wayward. Jadeja was probably the pick of the bowlers. Ishant and Shami were good in bits and pieces. They though are way ahead in the game and just need to be patient. Join us for the second session in a while.
Jason Holder will be happy with his batsmen in this session. It did not start in the best of manner for the Windies as Bravo went back retired hurt early on. Brooks and Chase though, then surged a decent stand and took the Windies above the 100-run mark. The hosts then lost Chase and Hetmyer in quick succession and it seemed the floodgates have been opened but Blackwood, the concussion substitute, along with Brooks, who was dismissed of a no ball, have done really well so far. Still there is a long way to go and they need to keep going.

BOUNCER! It is bowled above the head of the batsman, Blackwood lets it go to the keeper.
Trying to analyze the no ball rule. Or the REVISED no ball rule. Murali Kartik explains to us very efficiently about the technicalities. Earlier, the landing of the foot was looked into only when the bowler was releasing the ball. However, as per the new rules, the landing of the foot is only checked, irrespective of the ball release. So the cameras show us replays of the Jadeja no ball. He lands his foot with his heel over the line. Fair. NO BALL. But he has not released the ball! And when he does let go of the cherry, the heel is back in the crease. So, what Murali Kartik is trying to tell us is - this rule is plainly for the fast bowlers as it is practically impossible to delay your delivery while bowling fast and landing your foot. But while adjusting to the faster men, the spinners are facing the brunt of the rule. Tough luck.

OUT! CAUGHT! No wait... it is a NO BALL! Brooks survives to see another day. Just the luck a batter who is short of runs would have wanted. Jadeja is annoyed and rightly so. He bowls an excellent delivery. It lands on middle and it is flatter. Brooks goes back and looks to defend but the ball turns away. Hits the outside edge of Brooks' bat and goes to first slip where the fielder makes no mistake. Brooks starts walking back but is stopped by the umpire as they want to check the front foot.
