New Delhi – The formalities took just about an hour to complete as India defeated West Indies by seven wickets in the second and final Test here on Tuesday for a 2-0 series sweep during which the markedly superior hosts were tested only towards the end.

Besides reaffirming India's home supremacy, the triumph will also go down as Shubman Gill's first series victory as India's Test captain.

Needing just 58 runs to reach the target of 121, KL Rahul (58 not out off 108 balls), with Dhruv Jurel for company (6 not out) completed the task in 35.2 overs.

Rahul hit six fours and two sixes, adding 79 with Sai Sudharsan (39) for the second wicket.

While the second Test dragged into the fifth morning - largely because of the resistance from centurions John Campbell (115) and Shai Hope (103), and a dogged 10th-wicket stand - the Feroz Shah Kotla track offered little assistance to spinners, remaining low and slow throughout.
