India register 10th successive series win at home to equal Australia's record

HYDERABAD: It's a unprecedented feat, an Indian speedy bowler successful a Test fit on Indian soil. Umesh Yadav's 10 for 133 was once stouthearted because it brought on some other three-day rout of Windies, marked by way of a pathetic show of Test fit batting.

In engineering a spectacular collapse that lasted an insignificant 46.1 overs and saw Windies roll over for 127 on Sunday, Umesh ensured a meagre target of 72 runs that India achieved to win the second Test by way of 10 wickets and the sequence 2-Zero - their 10th directly sequence win at house since shedding to England in 2012. Prithvi Shaw and KL Rahul carried out the finishing touches as the hosts ended up with 75 without loss.


All credit to Umesh for his brilliant charge that made him the third Indian quick to bag a 10-for on house soil after Kapil Dev did it two times and Javagal Srinath once. The 19,164 faithful who congregated at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium took house a number of satisfied reminiscences and none better than the three deliveries of Umesh that Roston Chase, Shane Dowrich and Shannon Gabriel dragged directly to the stumps for returns of four for 45.

The Indian spearhead overlooked the hat-trick two times in the day. On the first occasion, the break up hat-trick was once prevented by way of Kraigg Brathwaite and the second time by way of Jason Holder with Chase in the mix both instances. The Chase-Holder duo had revived the visitors' first innings with their 104-run stand for the seventh wicket but there was once to be no repeat act as Windies were staring down the barrel by way of then, thank you in the primary to Umesh.


Working up tidy tempo, the fitting arm quick posed questions for which the Windies batsmen had no solutions. Rattled first up by way of a yorker that nearly cannoned into his stumps, Brathwaite succumbed to the very subsequent delivery, glancing Umesh most effective to look Rishabh Pant get a hold of a advantageous catch.

Windies were 56 runs in the purple and worse was once in store as offie R Ashwin maintained the stranglehold with a beautiful first spell of 6-2-13-1 that accounted for Kieran Powell, neatly pouched by way of Ajinkya Rahane at slip. Runs were exhausting to return by way of - Windies were given their first off the 17th delivery - and two quickly changed into three and four as Shimron Hetmyer and Shai Hope fell in the space of four deliveries. Their most effective hope of surviving the day rested on Holder. The Windies captain was once an image of calm in spite of the carnage round him and in Sunil Ambris found an best friend with a not unusual job: prolong the inevitable.



Ravindra Jadeja had other ideas, although. Ian Gould failed to spot a faint edge off Holder's bat. But the evaluation went in India's favour. The hosts had reason why for extra joy quickly after the 38-run partnership for the seventh wicket between Holder and Ambris was once terminated, the latter too was once trapped in entrance, a simple choice which the batsman reviewed unsuccessfully.


It was once just a topic of time sooner than the Windies folded up in less than two periods after India were dismissed 15 mins into the extended first consultation. India's hopes of a giant lead rested on their overnight pair of Rahane (80; 259min, 183b, 4x7) and Pant (92; 203min, 134b, 4x11, 6x2). But the former didn't stay down a Shannon Gabriel delivery that reared up from a length and the latter once once more failed to finish his century. Despite Ashwin's defiance for 119 mins in scoring 35 and Shardul Thakur batting on one leg, India needed to accept 367 thanks to Holder's 5 for 56, a lot less than they anticipated after beginning the third day on 308 for four.


The lead of 56 runs proved ok to pummel the Windies into submission. Ashwin (2/24), Jadeja (three/12) and Kuldeep Yadav (1/45) performed their section too.
