India completed a convincing victory over the West Indies as the hosts lost by an innings and 141 runs. A dominant performance from the visitors represents the perfect start to their ICC World Test Championship 2023-25 campaign as they aim to reach the final for the third-straight time.

The 36-year old bagged 12 wickets in the game, making it the eighth time he has taken ten wickets in a Test. He now has the joint-most 10-wicket hauls for India in Tests, alongside Anil Kumble.
