Alick Athanaze scored 38 for the West Indies, and Justin Greaves made 25. Their efforts were not enough to stop India's win.
The West Indies were dismissed for 162 and 146 in their two innings, while India made 448 for five declared in 128 overs.
After the match, Siraj said he was pleased with the team's effort with both bat and ball. He said the wicket slowed down in the second innings and made batting more difficult. He added that taking wickets in a second innings at home was a special feeling and credited the batting group for taking responsibility, mentioning the contributions of KL Rahul and Shubman Gill.
India wrapped up the match when Jayden Seales hit a flighted delivery from Kuldeep Yadav straight back to the bowler. The ball struck Kuldeep on the chest, popped up, and he caught it to end the contest.
