India won the series 1-0 after an innings and 140 runs.

India defeated West Indies by an innings and 140 runs in Ahmedabad with the help of Ravindra Jadeja.

The all-rounder took 4-54 as the home team wrapped up their first Test in two sessions on day three after posting an unbeaten 104 on Friday.

West Indies needed 287 to make their opponents bat again after India’s captain Shubman Gill declared victory on 448-5 over night.

After being out for 162 on day one, the visitors lost to 46-5 after Jadeja removed opener John Campbell and fired openers Shai Hope and Brandon King for single-figure scores.

Any chance of a fourth innings was effectively ended when Alick Athanaze reached the 38-run milestone and put on a 46-run partnership with Justin Greaves.

As India finished their home season with a win, Jadeja added one wicket after Mohammed Siraj caught Johann Layne, and Jayden Seales was the last to fall.

After the match, it was announced that Rohit Sharma would succeed him as India’s ODI captain. Test captain Gill will take over.

Beginning on October 19, Gill will take the starting three-match ODI series in Australia.

In March’s Champions Trophy final, Rohit led India over New Zealand in the victory over Australia.

The 38-year-old has been chosen for the tour’s roster and appears to be playing his first international game since winning the Champions Trophy alongside fellow veteran Virat Kohli.

In the 2-2 series in England, Gill took Rohit’s place as Test captain in May, leading his team for the first time.

In the victory over India in Ahmedabad, he led the red-ball team that has lost Kohli, Rohit, and Ravichandran Ashwin to retirement, their most recent home game being a 3-0 series defeat by New Zealand in November.

Following the tour’s 50-over leg, the 26-year-old will also serve as vice-captain for a three-game T20 series against Australia.
