It was the final Test of the four-match series. With the series level at 0-0, Rahul Dravid won the toss and opted to bat. The Caribbean bowlers put up an inspired show in a bowling paradise and skittled out India for 200 in their first innings.
Harbhajan Singh produced a sensational spell picking up 5/13 in the first innings ensuring the Indians bundled out West Indies for 103. India managed to score 171 in their second essay with Rahul Dravid scoring 68.
Chasing 269 for victory, the Windies batsmen had no answer to Kumble’s deception and guile. The leg spinner finished with 6/78 as the Men in Blue won the match by 49 runs to hand India a memorable series victory.

About the author
Arya Sekhar Chakraborty
Arya is a cricket journalist with around 8 years of experience who writes informative listicles and is in charge of text commentary at Sportskeeda. He is a graduate in Journalism, Psychology, and English, and has previously worked for websites such as CricTracker, SportzWiki, Cricket Addictor, Cricfit, OneCricket, and Cricket Exchange. His vast experience has led him to know the pulse of his readers and he cross-checks information from a number of credible sources before writing a single word for their sake.
A former Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) U14 and U16 player, Arya's tryst with cricket began after watching Sachin Tendulkar in action during his childhood. He is an ardent fan of Mumbai Indians (MI) owing to Tendulkar's initial involvement and also bleeds blue for his national team. He is an admirer of Test cricket as he feels the red-ball format teaches one about every facet of life.
Arya, who feels ODIs should not be completely replaced with T20Is owing to the former's pacing and charm, would like to go back in time to 1998 and watch the Master Blaster in action. He has experience in interviewing a few Bengali cricketers such as Kazi Junaid Saifi, Shib Shankar Pal, Sayan Ghosh and Prayas Ray Barman. He has also translated a couple of Bengali cricket books, and made Indian Premier League (IPL) pre-match videos.
He likes to spend time with his family and binge on web series during his spare time.
