Overview

• India crushed West Indies by an innings and 140 runs in Ahmedabad, where Ravindra Jadeja hit a century and claimed four wickets to win Player of the Match.
• Jadeja said he missed Ravichandran Ashwin’s presence, reflecting on their long partnership in home Tests.
• Ashwin joked that he would have taken two or three of Jadeja’s wickets and urged him to make the most of the opportunity, calling him a bona fide Test legend.
• The retired spinner noted that Jadeja now has fewer senior teammates to confide in, comparing it to his own experience after Cheteshwar Pujara’s exit.
• It was India’s first home Test since 2010 without Ashwin, with the spin attack led by Kuldeep Yadav, Jadeja, and Washington Sundar.
