West Indies, on the other hand, have lost all four of their matches so far three against Australia and one against India and have yet to earn any points. Meanwhile, New Zealand, Pakistan, and South Africa have not played any games in this WTC cycle yet.
India put on a commanding display to crush the West Indies by an innings and 140 runs in the first Test at the Narendra Modi Stadium, wrapping up the match in just three days and taking a 1–0 lead in the two-match series. West Indies struggled from the start scoring only 162 in their first innings with Mohammed Siraj taking 4 wickets for 40 runs, Jasprit Bumrah picking up 3 for 42, and Kuldeep Yadav claiming 2 wickets. India responded strongly, declaring at 448/5, led by centuries from KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja and Dhruv Jurel, giving them a huge lead of 286 runs.
The West Indies’ second innings was no better, as they were bowled out for just 146 runs in 45.1 overs. Jadeja spun through the middle order taking 4/54, while Siraj added 3/31 and Kuldeep took two more wickets, finishing with four in the match. No West Indies batter managed to score more than 30 showing India’s relentless bowling attack. Riding on this momentum, India will look to seal the series with another strong performance in Delhi.
