**Ahmedabad, India** – Team India secured a dominant victory over the West Indies in the first Test match of their series, winning by an innings and 140 runs at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Saturday. This win marks India’s return to home Test cricket after a series loss to New Zealand last year.
The victory provides a significant boost to India’s World Test Championship (WTC) standings. While the team remains in third place, they have gained crucial points and improved their percentage to 46.67. Australia currently leads the table with 100%, followed by Sri Lanka at 66.67%.
The win earned India 12 points, bringing their total to 40. A 2-0 series win would further increase their percentage to 61.90, though it would not change their position in the rankings.
West Indies, on the other hand, have suffered losses in all four of their Test matches and currently hold zero points.
This victory marks a positive start for India in their quest to secure a spot in the next World Test Championship final after failing to qualify last time round following a shock defeat against New Zealand.

1. Australia: 100%
