Kohli, India set records in 318-run win over Windies

ANTIGUA, Aug 26 (AP): Jasprit Bumrah took five wickets for seven runs as India bowled out West Indies for 100 on Sunday to clinch a record 318-run win and help Virat Kohli equal a captaincy mark.

The 318-run victory in the series-opener was India's biggest-ever away win by runs in test cricket.

It was Kohli's 27th win from 47 Tests as India captain, equaling MS Dhoni's record for wins at the helm of the national team. Dhoni led India to 27 wins in 60 Tests as captain.

"It's a blessing that I am in a position to contribute to my team in more than one way," Kohli said. "I am taking the decisions but it is up to the individuals to do the execution."

West Indies fell far short of the highly improbable winning target of 419 but managed a mini-recovery in its second innings after slumping to 15-5. Paceman Bumrah bowled eight overs, including four maidens, to do most of the damage for India, hitting the stumps to claim four of his wickets.

Earlier, India resumed Day 4 on 185-3 with Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane already having secured half-centuries. India declared its second innings at 343-7 with Rahane out for 102, his 10th test century. Kohli failed to add to his overnight 51.

"We wanted to just bat, bat and bat," Rahane, voted player of the match, said of his partnership with Kohli.

Hanuma Vihari scored 93 before he was caught behind off Jason Holder, ending a 135-run partnership with Rahane for the fifth wicket. Roston Chase took 4-132.
