After winning the T20I and the ODI series, the Men in Blue won the first Test in Antigua by a huge margin of 318 runs and currently lead the two-match series 1-0. The Indian bowlers were in top form in the first Test, they bowled West Indies out for 100 in the second innings. Jasprit Bumrah bowled one of his best spells in Test cricket, picking up 5 wickets for 7 runs.

As far as the batting department is concerned, Ajinkya Rahane’s return to form was the biggest gain. The India vice-captain scored 81 in the first innings backed that up with his first century in two years, scoring an important 102 in the second innings to extend India’s lead into a healthy one.

India would look to carry on the impressive performance and seal the series in Jamaica which also give them 60 more points in the World Test Championship.
