Bumrah's Fiery Spell Blows Away The West Indies In Opening Test

His five-for, supported by Ishant’s three and Shami’s two, helps India thrash the hosts by a whopping 318 runs inside four days.

Jasprit Bumrah led a devastating fast bowling assault as India shot out the West Indies for 100 and registered a crushing 318-run victory in the first Test at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium on Sunday.

Set an improbable target of 419 after Virat Kohli declared the visitors’ second innings at 343 for seven, the hosts were dismissed in 26.5 overs for their lowest total against India, with Bumrah returning sensational figures of five for seven off eight overs.
