NEW DELHI, Oct 14, (AP): K.L. Rahul scored an unbeaten 58 to pace India to a seven-wicket win over West Indies on Tuesday and complete a sweep of the two-test cricket series. India resumed Day 5 on the overnight total of 63-1, needing just 58 further runs to clinch the second test after winning the first test at Ahmedabad by an innings and 40 runs.

Rahul’s half-century set up India’s win as it easily reached 124-3 in 35.2 overs. Dhruv Jurel was unbeaten on six runs.

Sai Sudharsan (39) and Shubman Gill (13) were the only wickets to fall on the last day, both caught from the bowling of Roston Chase (2-36).

It was Gill's first test series victory as India captain, a position he said he's still getting used to.

The West Indies had been forced to follow on after being dismissed for 248 in reply to India's first-innings total of 518-5 declared, a 270-run deficit.
