A series sweep by India

If India does win second match, y'll t only win test series but will clean sweep entire series after winning all three T20Is, two of three ODIs ( first ODI was washed out) and having won first test, y're well on way to sweep all three. In first test match played at rth Sound, India beat West Indies by 318 runs. Ishant Sharma, who has hit off right from start, took five wickets in first innings, conceding just 43 runs in 17 overs. In second innings, it was Jasprit Bumrah, who once again awed fans while his critics ate ir words since he took 5 wickets, conceding 7 runs in 8 overs thus having an ecomy of 0.87. Mamatically, he conceded less than a run per over for those 48 balls!
