 
From the first day of the first Test in Ahmedabad, India made a definitive statement. The home side batted first, and with contributions from the top-order setting the foundation, the middle-order batsmen proved to be equally ruthless in being able to score runs. The ability of the Indian batters to turn the strike over, punish loose deliveries, and build partnerships quickly placed scoreboard pressure on the tourists. The Indian batters were patient in their approach against the new ball while also being aggressive at times, and this blend of gameplay has led to India’s success in the Test format over the last few years.
Bowlers Seal Victory in Just Three Days
While the batting display was dominant, the bowling display was downright merciless. India’s fast bowlers hit the West Indies top order shortly after they walked out. Then, the spinners took over, exploiting the Ahmedabad surface to capture batters with sharp turn and variation. Two times, we saw West Indies bowled out, with little resistance. The victory margin of an innings and 140 runs showed how comprehensive the Indian attack was, completing the game within three days.
What This Win Means for India
This emphatic victory is not merely another Test match triumph; it confirms India’s dominance in home conditions and establishes a marker for the rest of the series. The mix of experienced performers and younger players showed depth in both batting and bowling. For West Indies, losing is a reminder of the distance they have to go to be relevant at the highest level consistently. Having said that, as India moves on, it wasn’t just a boost to their World Test Championship campaign but also good confidence going forward. click here for the source
