India clinch Test series against Windies with innings victory

Kolkata: India on Thursday clinched the three-match Test series against the West Indies after crushing the hapless visitors by an innings and 15 runs in the second match to take an unassailable 2-0 lead here on Thursday.

The West Indies put up a strong fightback in their second innings with Darren Bravo (136) slamming a superb century but that turned out to be not enough as Indian bowlers grabbed six wickets in the post-lunch session to wrap up the match on the fourth day at the Eden Gardens.

The match ended with more than four sessions to spare, just like in the first Test in New Delhi where India beat the visitors by five wickets.

The two sides now travel to Mumbai for the third Test which begins on November 22.
