West Indies vs India 2016: 5 best batting performances by Indian batsmen in the West Indies

#5 Virender Sehwag- 180

If Sunil Gavaskar exemplified watertight technique and tremendous defensive prowess, Virender Sehwag was a stark contrast, and yet both these batsmen will always make it to India's all-time Test squad.

Sehwag was the maverick who cared two hoots for technique, he had tremendous belief in his ability and this was on in full flow right throughout his career. This innings of 180 in St Lucia was one such Sehwag innings, where the bowlers were rendered helpless such was the marauding influence of the Delhi dasher.

180 runs off 190 balls which included 20 boundaries and 2 sixes, some might say this was a slow innings compared to Sehwag's standards, but it set the game up beautifully. India amassed 588 runs in the first innings. West Indies were bundled out for 215 in their first innings and were made to follow on.

They held on for a draw and managed to drag the game towards a draw.
