KL Rahul got off to starts in both innings of the first Test but could not capitalise and go on to score big runs, though he was able to score 82 runs in the match. He scored 44 runs in the first innings and looked in good touch before being dismissed for 38 runs in the second innings.
Skipper Virat Kohli added yet another feather to his cap after the Antigua Test, as he became the most successful Indian captain in overseas Tests. The Antigua Test win against the West Indies was Virat Kohli's 12th overseas Test victory that took him past former captain Sourav Ganguly's record. Virat Kohli achieved the feat in his 26th match as skipper on foreign soil on Sunday whereas Ganguly had 11 Test wins from 28 matches. Virat Kohli also equalled MS Dhoni's record of 26 Test wins as captain of the Indian team.
India wrapped up the win on day four of the Test. After resuming their innings at 185/3, team India went on to add 158 runs more to their tally to take the score up to 343 runs and gain a lead of 418 runs. Windies batsmen failed to stay at the crease for long in the second innings and the entire team was bundled out in 27 overs. Jasprit Bumrah scalped five wickets for India in the second innings.
India leads the two-match series 1-0 and the team will take on the Caribbean side in the second Test, beginning August 30 at Jamaica.
