It only took three days for the Men In Blue to wrap up the series over the West Indies side that failed to put any sort of pressure on the hosts.
The test was an eventful one as it secured India’s maiden ten-wicket win over West Indies while Umesh Yadav became only the third Indian pacer to secure a ten-wicket haul on home soil.
The pacer was awarded with the Man Of The Match award, while Prithvi Shaw was adjudged as the Man Of The Series for his fluent run with the bat over the series.
The series victory marked India’s tenth successive series win at home. Here’s how the Twitter Universe reacted to the side’s victory.
Clinical and dominant performance by #TeamIndia to win the series. Some special performances. Keep moving India 🇮🇳 @bcci

Another crushing win for India. To start favourites is one thing, to treat the opposition like that quite another. Delighted for Umesh Yadav.

MS Dhoni and Rishabh Pant are the only keepers to get dismissed on 92 twice in Tests. #INDvsWI

Another three day farce of a Test Match. Seriously time to consider two tier Test Cricket. #INDvsWI

The beast is back with a bang ! Hard work never goes in vain. Great spell @y_umesh 👍 #INDvsWI

West Indies have been reduced to an apology of a Test team – if being bowled out twice in just 3 sessions is bad, it's even worse to not to see them put up even some token resistance. #IndvsWI #RajkotTest
