Ahmedabad, Oct 4 (PTI) Ravindra Jadeja and Mohammed Siraj scythed through the West Indian batting line-up, setting up India’s crushing innings and 140-run win on the third day of the first Test here on Saturday.

India declared at their overnight score of 448 for five and then blew away the Windies for a paltry 146 in their second innings to go 1-0 up in the two-match series.

Siraj (3/31) and Jadeja (4/54) were the lead bowlers for India. The pacer also completed a seven-wicket match haul, continuing his fine recent form.

Alick Athanaze (38) was the top scorer for the visitors, followed by Justin Greaves (25), but those were never going to help their cause.
