Jadeja Shines as Team India Hammer West Indies in Comprehensive Win
Ravindra Jadeja has secured 334 dismissals in 86 Test matches at an bowling average of 25.07, while also making six hundreds and 27 fifties
First Test, Ahmedabad (day three of five)
West Indies 162 runs (Greaves 32; Mohammed Siraj 4-40) & 146 runs (Alick Athanaze 38; Jadeja 4-54)
India 448-5 declared (Dhruv Jurel 125, Ravindra Jadeja 104*, Rahul 100; Roston Chase 2-90)
India won by an innings victory with 140 runs to spare; take series lead 1-0
The star all-rounder excelled with both bat and ball as India overcame West Indies by a massive innings victory in Ahmedabad
Following his knock of an unbeaten 104 on Friday, Jadeja claimed four wickets for 54 runs as India completed the opening Test within two sessions on the third day
After India captain Shubman Gill decision to declare on 448 for five overnight, West Indies needed to score 287 runs simply to force their opponents bat again
That seemed unlikely following their dismissal for 162 on the opening day, and the tourists collapsed to 46 for five with Jadeja dismissing opening batsman Campbell then taking the wickets of King and Shai Hope for single-figure scores
The West Indian batsman showed some fight, scoring 38 runs and putting on a 46-run partnership with Justin Greaves, but after being caught off his own bowling by Sundar, any hope of forcing India to bat again effectively ended
The experienced all-rounder took one further wicket, having Johann Layne caught by Mohammed Siraj, and Seales was the final wicket as India began their domestic season with a win
The teams travel to Delhi for the second and concluding Test starting from Friday
