Shubman Gill added an unbeaten 129 as India piled up 518 for 5 before declaring. In response, the West Indies were bundled out for 248 in their first innings, prompting India to enforce the follow-on.

The result took India’s points percentage to 61.90, with four wins, two losses, and one draw from seven matches in the ongoing WTC cycle.
