Ravi Ashwin took 9 wickets and scored a brilliant 103 against the West Indies in this match

A match made famous because it was only the second time in the history of the game that a Test had to be drawn because the scores were level at the end of the 4th innings.

Ravichandran Ashwin was India’s man of the moment in this series after his recent breakthrough into international cricket and won Man of the Match this Test for an excellent all-round display.

In the Test, he took 9 wickets across both innings and scored a brilliant 103 in the first innings that showcased his all-round potential. India needed to chase down 243 in the 4th innings but were pulled back after fifties from Virender Sehwag & Virat Kohli; leaving Ravi Ashwin batting and needing 2 runs to win off the last ball.

Ashwin managed to hit the ball down long-on and get the single to tie the scores but was run out when he tried to return for the second run, resulting in the match being drawn, although India wrapped up the series 2-0. Ashwin was also named Man of the Series.
