Ravichandran Ashwin ran through the West Indies batting lineup for a second time inside three days following a surprise declaration from Rohit Sharma as India opened their account in the new World Test Championship (WTC) cycle with a commanding innings and 141-run victory in Dominica on Friday.
Ashwin followed up his figures of 5/60 on Wednesday with a haul of 7/71 on the third day, collecting his 34th Test five-for as well as his eighth ten-wicket match-haul as India bowled West Indies out for 130 after declaring on 421/5 with a first innings lead of 271.
Earlier in the day, Yashasvi Jaiswal became only the third Indian batter to go past 150 on Test debut and would ultimately fall on 171. Virat Kohli too converted a steady start into a half-century and would help India cross the 400-run mark.
