With this victory, India extended their impressive unbeaten run against the Caribbean side in Test cricket to 27 matches. The win also marked India’s fourth success in seven matches in the ongoing ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2025–27 cycle.
India Strengthen WTC Position with Improved PCT
The result has boosted India’s percentage of points (PCT) to 61.9, keeping them firmly in third place on the WTC standings. The team has suffered only two losses in the current cycle, both at the hands of England, and recorded one draw, also against England.
On the other hand, West Indies remain winless in this WTC cycle, having lost all five of their matches so far.
Gambhir on WTC Final and Team India's performances under Shubman Gill
"I think he’s already passed his toughest test as a Test captain—that was in England: five matches away from home, tough conditions, real quality. Every Test match is important, every one-day game is important, every T20 game is important when you represent your country." Gambhir said on Shubman as Test captain.
"For me, not looking too far ahead to the WTC Final is key—staying present is very important. It was important to win this series at home and we have a very busy schedule. Hopefully we can keep building from here. I’m not going to start thinking about the WTC now—that’s still a long way away. Staying present matters." He further added.
