India captain Shubman Gill brushed aside his poor luck at the toss, saying he could not have asked for a better all-round performance from his team after they hammered the West Indies by an innings and 140 runs to take a 1-0 lead in the two-match series.
Vice-captain Ravindra Jadeja, India's most valuable player in red ball cricket, displayed his all-round skills, hitting an unbeaten hundred and taking a four wicket haul in the opening Test. ''Six (toss) losses in a row, but as long as we keep winning the matches, it doesn't matter. Honestly, I think this was the perfect game for us. Three centuries, and we fielded really well so no complaints,'' Gill said during the presentation ceremony. Gill felt the wicket was perfect for batting and lauded the centurions of the team for their efforts
