India Crush West Indies In Third Test Match, Wins The Series

India crushed West Indies at the third test in St Lucia on Saturday, clinching the series and prompting captain Virat Kohli to say his team were going from “strength to strength”.

The touring side won by 237 runs on the fifth and final day after bowling out West Indies for 108, the second lowest score by the hosts against India in the Caribbean.

The victory gave Kohli’s men an unassailable 2-0 lead in the four-match series and ended a streak of six consecutive series defeats outside Asia.

Paceman Mohammed Shami was the chief destroyer with three for 15 while spinner Ravindra Jadeja and fast bowler Ishant Sharma took two wickets apiece.

“The credit goes to the whole squad, the way they have responded to the challenges,” Kohli said at the presentation ceremony.

“We always aim to win matches, win series, especially away from India, and this has been a very good start.”
