In a welcome development, Zaheer Khan, returning from an injury-induced break, took four for 59 as India A beat the West Indies A by an innings and 54 runs to draw the three-match series 1-1 here on Saturday


Narsingh Deonarine (99, 180b, 13x4) battled on for long, and added 82 runs for the fourth wicket with Assad Fudadin (49), but the Windies eventually collapsed to 242 with Zaheer doing the bulk of damage.

The turning point came when seamer Abhishek Nayar broke the Deonarine-Fudadin partnership and thereafter, it was a virtual procession as the Windies resistance caved in with Zaheer striking some deadly blows.
