The morale of Virat Kohli and his men is high after the record innings and 92 runs thrashing of the hosts inside four days.

Off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin claimed seven wickets for 83 runs in the second innings as the home team collapsed to 231 all out after being forced to follow-on at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound.
