The Indian team have taken an unassailable lead over the West Indies in the five-match ODI series. They are now aiming to seal the series in the 4th one-dayer at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, Antigua today.
In the last game, MS Dhoni played a blistering, match-winning knock for the Indian team. The Indian captain Virat Kohli praised destructive Dhoni, who made an unstoppable 79-ball 78. He, meanwhile, also surpassed Adam Gilchrist in the run-scoring chart.

“When we needed the runs, MS again finished the innings along with Kedar,” Kohli said. “Ajinkya batted well and Yuvi’s 40-odd (39) were really important runs. MS at the end along with Kedar finished it really well.
The Indian bowlers also played their part to bundle the West Indies inside 39 overs. Umesh Yadav removed Evin Lewin in early innings whereas Kyle was removed by Hardik Pandya for 43 runs in partnership with Shai.

“I think it was a very clinical performance. Early on there was quite a bit of moisture on the wicket,” Kohli pointed out. “It was really a good toss for them to win and they bowled really well upfront.”
“The bowlers bowled really well despite the wicket being better in the second innings,” he further added. “When we needed the wickets, the two spinners stepped up.”
