Mumbai, Nov 26 (IANS) Spinners Pragyan Ojha and Ravichandran Ashwin triggered a
West Indies collapse, bowling them out for 134 in their second innings that set India a target of 243 runs to win the third Test and complete a clean sweep.
At lunch, India scored 16 runs and needed another 227 in two sessions to win the series 3-0. Virender Sehwag (6) and Gautam Gambhir (9) were at the crease.
The Test was meandering towards a dull draw Friday, but sprang back to life this morning with Ojha (6-47) and Ashwin (4-34) hunting in pack on the fifth day track.
West Indies batsmen had applied themselves in the first innings and piled up 590. India replied with 482.
The visitors resumed at 81/2 in the morning, but could add only 53 runs, losing eight wickets.
Overnight batsmen Kraigg Brathwaite (35) was the first to be dismissed off Ojha with Tendulkar taking the catch at point.
Darren Bravo (48), who scored a century in the first innings, was caught and bowled by Ojha.
Ojha and Ashwin then quickly mopped up the rest of the line-up.
