**India Dominates West Indies, Boosts WTC Percentage but Remains Third**
**Ahmedabad, India** – Team India, led by Shubman Gill, secured a dominant victory over the West Indies in the first Test match at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, winning by an innings and 140 runs. This commanding win gives India a 1-0 lead in the two-match series and, more importantly, boosts their standing in the World Test Championship (WTC).
The victory has increased India’s win percentage in the WTC standings, from 46.67% to 55.56%. However, despite the convincing performance, India remains in third place in the WTC Points Table. Australia currently holds the top spot with a perfect 100% record, followed by Sri Lanka in second place with 66.67%. West Indies remain at the bottom.
In the match itself, after winning the toss and electing to bat, the West Indies were bundled out for a mere 162 runs in two sessions. Mohammed Siraj took 4 wickets, while Jasprit Bumrah chipped in with 3. India responded with a strong batting performance, declaring their innings at 448/5, taking a substantial 286-run lead. Centuries from KL Rahul, Dhruv Jurel, and Ravindra Jadeja (who remained unbeaten) powered the Indian innings. Captain Shubman Gill also contributed with a half-century.
The Indian bowlers then completed the job, dismissing the West Indies for just 146 in their second innings to seal the comprehensive victory well inside the fourth day. The team’s performance signals a strong start to their WTC campaign, even if they are not yet at the top of the table.
