It was a one-sided Test where Indian batsmen piled on the runs, bowlers improved their best bowling figures, and Windies got ready for the upcoming T20I series against India. The Twitterati did not miss the chance to troll the Windies team as they lost the 1st Test match by an innings and 272 runs.
Brief scores: India 649/9 dec (Virat Kohli 139, Prithvi Shaw 132; Devendra Bishoo 4/215, Sherman Lewis 2/93) beat Windies 181 ( Roston Chase 53, Keemo Paul 47; Ravichandran Ashwin 4/37, Mohammed Shami 2/22) & 196 (Kieran Powell 83, Roston Chase 20; Kuldeep Yadav 5/57, Ravindra Jadeja 3/35) by an innings and 272 runs.
One of a Kind!
Kuldeep Yadav had a bad run in the 1st innings but came back strong in the 2 by becoming only the 7th bowler in the world to take a 5 wicket haul in all 3 formats in the game
Bowlers with five-fers in each of the three formats:
— Deepu Narayanan (@deeputalks)
Tim Southee
Ajantha Mendis
Umar Gul
Lasith Malinga
Imran Tahir
Bhuvneshwar Kumar
Kuldeep Yadav
Now, this is insane!
Doing it in a single year! A legend in the making!
Kuldeep Yadav is also the only bowler to take a five-wicket haul in all three international formats in the same calendar year (2018)

When you are always hungry!
This is what happens when lunch is nearing and you are watching Keemo Paul bat!
Why do I keep hearing Kheema Pav?

The real reason behind the collapse!
Coming to think of it...
West Indies batsmen need more time to prepare for the next Test, hence finishing this one early.

Routine!
Looks like West Indies weren't prepared for this Test at all!
First innings lasted for 46 overs. 2nd innings 48? As soon as the batsman gets a boundary India trap them into a foolish shot It is a test match guys occupy the crease, you don't have to gets runs off every ball.

The name change!
It was the only way for them to get a win!
Absolute shambles... and they've changed their name to Windies from West Indies...

The long con!
Couldn't have put it better!
I quite like West Indies approach in this first Test Match. They are very clear they cannot save this match, so why not practice for T20's and ODI's and earn an auction in IPL 😂

The T20 effect!
This is what happens when you are only good at T20 cricket!
West Indies only know 3 things about Cricket and that is 4,6 and Out.

Poor Shaw!
But got to commend his fielding, he caught 2 at silly point!
Prithvi Shaw might end up remembering this match for the number of times he has gone down on ground twisted at short leg with the ball whizzing past his ears, rather than the debut ton.

This must be an apt name!
