Team India humbled Windies by ten wickets in the second Test of the two-match series. With this victory, the side has successfully completed the expected whitewash. Umesh Yadav, for his fiery spell of bowling in this Test, is gathering a lot of praise from the cricketing fraternity. The former Indian cricketer, the legendary Sachin Tendulkar also praised the quick in his congratulatory tweet for the team.

Sachin said that it was some clinical performance from the team to win the Test series. He congratulated Umesh Yadav for another good performance in the second innings of the game. The pacer bagged a 10-wicket haul in the match for the first time. While he picked six scalps in the first innings, he followed it up with another four in the second innings. Sachin applauded Umesh earlier as well when he picked that six-wicket haul.

Tendulkar’s tweet

“Clinical performance by #TeamIndia to win this Test Series. Congratulations @y_umesh on another fine effort in the 2nd innings to bag your 10 wicket haul. #INDvsWI,” Sachin wrote in his tweet. He also shared a picture of the team celebrating after the win along with his tweet.

Umesh Yadav was also named the ‘Man of the Match’ for this special effort. It was the young Prithvi Shaw, who bagged the ‘Man of the Series’. In his maiden international series, the 18-year-old has scored 237 runs in three innings at an average of 79. He also struck his first Test century in this series.

This is the 7th straight win for the Indian cricket team against the Windies. Since 1994, the Carribean side hasn’t won a single Test match in India. Sachin Tendulkar was a part of the Indian team the last time when the Windies toured India. It was also his last series and signed off after representing the country in 200 Tests back in 2013.
