5 Indian Test wins in West Indies

4. India beat West Indies by 49 runs, Jamaica, 2006:

This was India’s first win (Jamaica) in West Indies other than Port of Spain. Rahul Dravid was the captain of this team which was relatively new to these conditions.

India batted first and were all out for 200 thanks to some brilliant bowling by Jerome Taylor who picked up a fifer. Rahul Dravid was the lone contributor from the top order scoring 81. West Indies failed to capitalize on the opportunity given by their bowlers and were bowled out cheaply for just 103. Harbhajan Singh was in supreme form and led the attack with his five wickets.

It proved to be a bowling paradise and India were all out for 171 in the second inning with Dravid top-scoring with 68. Correy Collymore made a merry of the Indian batsmen picking another fifer. With 269 to chase in the 4th inning, it was hard work for Windies batsmen. This time, it was the senior talisman Anil Kumble who picked 6 wickets bowling them out them for 219 with that India won the match by 49 runs. Rahul Dravid was adjudged the man of the match and also the man of the series.
