India’s stunning performance in the fourth test against the West Indies at St. Lucia leads them a remarkable victory..
The proactive style of strokes from the Indian batsman with the likes of Rohit Sharma and Ajinkya Rahane helped the Tourists to post a decent target for the hosts.
Eventually, India have won its third consecutive Test series in the Caribbean Island. Indian tests skipper Virat Kohli has gone a step further as the 27-year-old became the first Indian captain ever to win two tests in the West Indies.
This is also India’s third back to back victory under Kohli’s captaincy, after a 2-1 win against Sri Lanka, followed by a 3-0 massacre of South Africa at home, and now, a surprising 2-0 lead over the West Indies in a four match tests series.
Here is the table showing the record of Indian captains in the West Indies.
| Margin | Tests | Year | Captain | Wins at venue(s) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1-0 | 5 | 1971 | Ajit Wadekar | Port of Spain |
| 1-0 | 4 | 2006 | Rahul Dravid | Kingston |
| 1-0 | 3 | 2011 | MS Dhoni | Kingston |
| 2-0 | 4 | 2016 | Virat Kohli | North Sound; Gros Islet |
