West Indies vs India Highlights And Cricket Score 5th Match - ODI Commentary
So, how many overs will India take to overhaul this minuscule target? They have around 70 minutes before they go in for the break. Can they do it within that period? We will have to wait to find out.
Not a lot can be written about the Windies batting. 25 was the highest score for them in this innings. That sums up their performance with the bat. They never got used to the pace of the wicket and have been bowled out for a very low total.
Excellent bowling performance and a dismal batting display. This innings was a combination of both. Right from the word go, the Indian bowlers were on the money. Kumar and Bumrah struck early. Samuels and Hetmyer then did try to build a partnership but Jadeja broke through. He finished with a 4-fer and was the pick of the bowlers. Khaleel Ahmed also picked two and Kuldeep also had one to his name. On top of that, every bowler, bowled a maiden over, not something you see often in modern day cricket. All-in-all a performance the Indians will be very happy with.
Ravindra Jadeja to Oshane Thomas. OUT! That was as plumb as it can get! 4-fer for Jadeja and the WINDIES HAVE BEEN BOWLED OUT FOR 104! Jadeja fires it on middle, it pitches and comes back in.

Ravindra Jadeja to Shimron Hetmyer. OUT! Three reds and Hetmyer has been given his marching orders. Back-to-back failures for Shimron. That was plumb, excellent review by India. They have been poor with their reviews in this series but this was spot on. It is bowled flatter and around middle, it spins back in a touch. Hetmyer is a touch late in bringing his bat down and hence, the ball strikes the front pad first. An appeal follows but the umpire shakes his head. After a chat with Dhoni and Jadeja. Kohli signals the 'T'. Replays roll in and they show the on-field call has to be overturned. Second wicket for Jadeja and the Windies slip further.

Lands it on a length around off, Powell goes for the drive away from his body. He also tries to hit it on the up but it is not on a driving length.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar will open the bowling for India. It is overcast here so he might just get some swing. Two slips in place. Here we go...
Big news for Indian fans, Rahul Dravid fans in particular. He has been officially inducted into the ICC Hall Of Fame.

Man of the Series and Indian skipper, Virat Kohli, says they were clinical and they were able to finish the game in few hours. Admits he was surprised the Windies chose to bat.

States he looks to help the team as much as possible with the bat and he always tries to lead from the front.

Mentions he wanted to polish his skills in this series. Reckons they are doing well in every department and he is looking forward to the tours of New Zealand and Australia.
The duo did have luck on their side with Virat being dropped of Thomas' bowling, who impressed and was the only wicket taker. He could have also got Rohit Sharma had he not overstepped. However, the two put that behind and once they were set, they started playing their shots. Rohit Sharma especially, he started off slowly but once he got his eye in, he tonked the ball everywhere to give India the win and the series.
India have taken the series 3-1 after another clinical performance. To be honest, their bowlers set it up for them with Jadeja leading the pack as he finished with a four-fer. He was well-supported by the rest, as all of the bowlers picked at least a wicket. They bowled Windies out for a small total and a mockery was made of the chase. Dhawan did get out early but Rohit and Kohli ensured no more wickets fell.
