Virat Kohli’s men thrashed the home side by a huge margin and took a 1-0 lead in the 4-match series. In the process, R Ashwin became only the third cricketer to take 5 wickets in an innings and score a century in the same match, Virat became the first Indian captain with an overseas double hundred. All of the instances combined were reasons enough for the twitteratis to go to party, we take a look at some top tweets:
Summary: India, 566/8 dec (Kohli 200, Ashwin 113, Dhawan 84, Mishra 53) beat West Indies 243 (K Brathwaite 74, Dowrich 57* Yadav 4-41, Shami 4-66) and (f/o) 231 (C Brathwaite 51*, Samuels 50, Ashwin 7-83) by an innings and 92 runs.

Dismissing Top 5 batsmen in a Test innings as Keeper:
J Russell v AUS, 1990
B Watling v IND, 2014
B Haddin v IND, 2014
W SAHA v WI#WIvIND— Sampath Bandarupalli (@SampathStats) July 23, 2016
I sometimes wonder if players like Carlos Brathwaite and Jason Holder consider themselves unlucky to be playing Test cricket.
