India took 149.5 overs to score a mammoth 649-9 declared while the West Indies were bowled out under 100 overs in both innings. That was the tale of the first Test here at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium as India won by an innings and 272 runs to register their biggest victory margin ever in Test cricket.

Talk of how soon the West Indies would fold up here in the build-up to the two-Test series was justified as the visitors, ranked World No. 8, showed no stomach for a fight against World No. 1 India.
