But, on the other hand, West Indies registered an unwanted record of their longest ever winless streak against any opponent in Test Cricket.
India resumed their innings at 185/3 and they went on to add 158 runs more to their tally to take the score up to 343 runs and gain a lead of 418 runs on day four of the test.
Windies batsmen were unable to stay at the crease for a long time in the second innings. Their entire team was washed out within 27 overs. India bowled West Indies out merely 100 runs and their lowest total against us in Test cricket history.

He has also surpassed Sourav Ganguly (11) for most away wins as India captain.
After resuming the day at 185 for three, Rahane scored a good 102-runs but young batsman Hanuma Vihari (93) missed out on his maiden Test century by only seven runs.
