Ishant Sharma

Indian pace lead Ishant Sharma is set to play the final cricket Test against the West Indies starting on Wednesday in spite of carrying the after belongings of a rear-ender with team-mate Praveen Kumar on his face.

Ishant largely stand aside during the only carry out session ahead of the decisive Test at Windsor Park on Tuesday, giving rise to conjecture that he may not be fit sufficient to bowl.

That speculation was soon put to rest when Ishant sent down delivery at full speed to Rahul Dravid in the nets.

Ishant was hit below his left eye by a leap Praveen in a football session on Monday. It left a deep bruise around his eye.

Ishant carried a band-aid over his wound during the session but there is no worry on him missing out the final Test.

Meanwhile, it almost looks sure that Murali Vijay and Virat Kohli, two young Indian batsmen who have been ineffective in the two Tests, would get another conservatory in the final game.

Parthiv Patel and Subramaniam Badrinath, two options careful in place of Vijay and Kohli by expert, didn't even get to bat in the net session, put an end to all speculation on their inclusion.

Munaf Patel, who missed the first two Tests due to a prod injury, bowled at full tilt at batsmen and is almost sure to replace Abhimanyu Mithun in the playing eleven.

India is likely to go with three seamers and a spinner for the Test. India is presently leading 1-0 in the three-Test series.
