Mohammed Shami and Ravindra Jadeja took three wickets each as India won the second Test by 257 runs. Chasing an improbable 468-run target, West Indies were all out for 210 in the post-lunch session on the fourth day.

Virat Kohli’s men thus won the two-match series 2-0. India’s most successful Test captain extended his record to 28 wins.

Hanuma Vihari was adjudged Man of the Match for his maiden Test hundred.

West Indies captain Jason Holder was the last man out for 39, bowled by Ravindra Jadeja. Ishant Sharma took two wickets while Jasprit Bumrah claimed one.

Kohli effected a brilliant run-out as West Indies were staring down the barrel at 180 for eight.

Starting the post-lunch session at 145 for four, West Indies lost six wickets in a space of a little over an hour. Jermaine Blackwood (38), who came in as concussion sub after Darren Bravo retired hurt, got a delivery from Bumrah that pitched on length and moved a shade to take the outside edge. Rishabh Pant completed a regulation catch.

The Sharmarh Brooks (50)-Blackwood partnership yielded 61 runs for the fifth wicket. Brooks was lucky to survive in the pre-lunch session but not so much in the post-lunch session when Kohli’s quick reflexes brought about his downfall. Brooks pushed one towards point and started to amble across as Kohli sprinted from his cover position, picked the ball and turned in the same motion to get his direct throw on target.

Jahmar Hamilton’s (0) debut just got worse with Ravindra Jadeja snuffing him out in the slips. Shami then removed Rahkeem Cornwall with an off-cutter that got the inside edge of his bat to Pant behind the stumps.

Jadeja removed the dangerous Roston Chase but was unlucky not to have scalped Brooks after overstepping.

Starting the day at 45 for two, the hosts were left unsettled when Bravo (23 batting) added only five runs to his overnight score before complaining of uneasiness and left the ground. Brooks was joined by a dogged Chase (12 off 36), who was ready to bring his best defensive game to the fore negotiating the trio of Bumrah, Shami and Ishant safely.

After a 41-run stand, it was Jadeja who trapped Chase leg-before. It was a fuller delivery that was pitched on leg stump and hit Chase on the front leg.

Shimron Hetmyer (1), who has had a nightmare of a series, didn’t last long as Kohli’s plan to keep a fielder at cover paid off. Birthday boy Ishant bowled one at a drivable length and the uppishly played shot was gleefully pouched by Mayank Agarwal.

Brooks could have also been on his way back had Jadeja not overstepped. It was a delivery that held its line as Brooks prodded in front and the thickish outside edge was taken by Ajinkya Rahane at first slip.
