India cruised to victory over West Indies by an innings and 140 runs within three days of the opening Test in Ahmedabad on Saturday, taking a 1-0 lead in the two-match series. The hosts were on the ascendancy after bundling out West Indies for 162 in the tourists' first innings at the Narendra Modi Stadium. For the second time in the match, the West Indies top order wilted almost on cue against India's incisive bowling backed by their sharp catching. Left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav uprooted rival captain Roston Chase's off-stump to reduce West Indies to 35-4. Jayden Seales (22) produced an entertaining cameo but it was not enough for West Indies to avoid an innings defeat.
