India Vs West Indies 2nd Test Ends in a Draw

India tried their heart out to try and win the contest but only a half day was too easy for the West Indian batsmen to negotiate. But nonetheless it was an exhilarating test match where some amazing cricket was seen. To say the least this test match had it all fantastic batting from batsmen from both teams like VVS Laxman and Marlon Samuels. On the other hand, Ishant Sharma bowled the best figures of his test cricketing career. He took 10 wickets while giving away 108 runs and was also awarded man of the match.
