10 best drawn Test matches of the last decade

#3 India v West Indies, Mumbai, 2011

Ashwin almost pulled off the impossible

It was the only second occasion in Test cricket history that two teams ended up level on runs with the match ending in a draw. It was a dead rubber since India had already taken a 2-0 lead in the 3-Test series but it was the 3rd Test that will remain in public memory for a long time.

West Indies produced an excellent batting display to score 590 in their 1st innings and then dismissed India for 482. However, they could not quite kill the game off as Pragyan Ojha's 6 wicket haul saw them crash to 134 all out on the final day, leaving India to score 243 in 64 overs to win the game. A 65-ball 60 from Virender Sehwag at the top raised the hopes of Indian fans.

However, India kept losing wickets until Virat Kohli's 63 steadied the ship. Eventually, with 2 wickets in hand and 3 needed to win the game, it was up to Ravichandran Ashwin to see them home. With Fidel Edwards bowling, West Indies still sensed an opportunity to blast out the tail. After all, Varun Aaron was on strike, but the fast bowler somehow survived and took a single off the 4th ball of the over.

With 2 required to win and 2 deliveries to go, Ashwin edged one on to his pads to avert a leg before dismissal and then once the draw had been secured, took a single. However, he was run out while going for the 2nd run, resulting in the match ending in a draw.
