Powered by yet another splendid bowling performance, India massacred West Indies at St. Lucia to register a comprehensive victory in the third test. By the virtue of the win, India have now also won the series and this is India’s third consecutive series victory in the Caribbean. It was a complete team effort from the bowling department as all the bowlers were on the money.
Mohammad Shami, who looked a tad off color in the first innings, was simply splendid as his spell shattered the West Indies batting lineup. But the hero for India would be none other than Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who five wicket haul on the fourth day turned the tide.
Fans were ecstatic, and below are some of the tweets.
Shami the workhorse has been missed so much is relevant the way he is yielding results now. Super bowling #WIvIND

11 wickets for Shami in this #WIvIND series so far next only to 15 by Ashwin. That's been one hell of a comeback by the speedster.

Of all the people who could have taken the catch to dismiss Darren Bravo, it had to be Rohit Sharma! #WIvIND

I can't understand why West Indies cricket board made Jason Holder the captain of a test side.WICB should consider proper cricket #WIvIND
