If you ask any Indian fan in the nineties about the worst nightmare they got due to the Indian team, the first thing they will say is the third Test between India and West Indies at Bridgetown, Barbados in 1997 which the Sachin Tendulkar-led Indian team lost by 38 runs, chasing just 120.

The Indian batsmen did not show any intention to score runs on the final day as Curtly Ambrose, Ian Bishop and Franklin Rose ran through the Indian line-up and dismissed them for just 81 with VVS Laxman being the only batsman to reach the double figures.

Skipper Sachin, in his autobiography, spoke about the match as he said, "Monday 31 March 1997 was a dark day in the history of Indian cricket and definitely the worst of my captaincy career. The defeat left me totally devastated and I shut myself in my room for two whole days trying to come to terms with the loss. I still feel the pangs of that defeat when I look back at the series."
