India clinched a dominant 2–0 Test series victory over the West Indies after winning the second Test by seven wickets on October 13, 2025, at Port of Spain. Chasing a modest target of 186, India reached 187/3 comfortably, with Shubman Gill scoring a fluent half-century and Virat Kohli adding stability in the middle. Earlier, India’s bowling unit—led by Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja—restricted the hosts in both innings, continuing their strong run in the Caribbean. This win marked India’s fifth consecutive Test series victory against the West Indies since 2015, reinforcing their dominance in the bilateral rivalry. The hosts, under Kraigg Brathwaite, struggled throughout the series with batting collapses and inconsistent bowling, while India’s new-generation players showed maturity under pressure.Cricket analysts praised Rohit Sharma’s captaincy and the team’s balance between experienced stars and emerging talents. With the win, India strengthened their position in the World Test Championship 2025–27 table, setting the tone for upcoming home series against England. #INDvsWI #TeamIndia #ViratKohli #ShubmanGill #RohitSharma #JaspritBumrah #RavindraJadeja #TestCricket #WTC2025 #CricketNews
Jasprit Bumrah, India's premier fast bowler, has been retained in the squad for the ongoing 2025 Asia Cup, despite concerns about his workload ahead of the upcoming Test series against the West Indies. Assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate confirmed that Bumrah is unlikely to be rested during the remaining matches of the Asia Cup, including the Super Four clash against Pakistan and, if India advances, the final on September 28. This decision underscores the team's strategy to maintain a full-strength lineup for both the Asia Cup and the forthcoming Test series. Bumrah's inclusion is pivotal, as he remains India's lone frontline pacer in the Asia Cup. His performance has been under scrutiny, with three wickets at an economy rate of 8.36 in the tournament thus far. Despite these figures, the team management is closely monitoring his workload, especially following his back injury earlier this year. The emphasis is on balancing his participation in the Asia Cup with preparations for the Test series, ensuring he is in optimal condition for both formats. #JaspritBumrah #AsiaCup2025 #IndianCricket #TeamIndia #BCCI #CricketNews #FastBowler #WorkloadManagement #Newsone #CricketUpdates @bcci
