The Windies got bundled out on the score of 280 runs. It was Rohit Sharma who scored 159 runs from 138 balls. “I think what has been good in the last three games including the one at Wankhede and the first two ODIs, we have batted pretty well in the first half. Batting second has never been an issue. We're one of the top sides, if not the best while chasing. It is always good to see the team getting 40-50 extra than what you would've thought at the start of the game. I think it all boils down to the good foundation. Rohit and KL were outstanding, the opening partnership set it up,” said Virat Kohli after winning the match. The series stands on 1-1 for now.
