5th ODI - India vs West Indies - Chennai, Dec 11
India win despite Pollard century [IND-WIN:4-1(5/5)]
Dec 11, 2011
A blistering maiden century by Pollard (110-ball knock of 119, with 10 sixes) couldn't help West Indies as they fell 34 runs short of India's score of 267/6. Irfan Pathan caused plenty of excitement with his famous inswingers and took 2-42, including a wicket of the very first delivery on his return. The West Indies had slumped to 78 for five before an 89-run stand between Pollard and Russell brought them back into the match. The hosts, who won the toss for the fifth consecutive time in this series, lost two quick wickets in the first three balls, but a maiden century by Manoj Tiwary on a sweltering day in Chennai helped India's cause. Tiwary retired hurt with cramp after a 117-run partnership with Kohli (80) who became the highest ODI run-scorer in 2011. Out of 34 matches he played this year, Kohli has scored 1381 runs at an average of 47.62 from 34 ODIs. This phenomenal achievement includes 4 centuries and 8 half-tons. Virender Sehwag, R Ashwin and Vinay Kumar made way for Irfan Pathan, Ajinkya Rahane and Manoj Tiwary.India's home season has featured only two losses out of 14 matches. Rohit Sharma, who scored 305 (including three fifties) at an average of 76.25, was named man-of-the-series and Manoj Tiwary the man-of-the-match for his 104. Ravindra Jadeja (9 at 23.77) and Kemar Roach (9 at 30.44) are the top wicket-takers in the series.

India looking to sign off on a winning note
Dec 10, 2011
With the ODI series under their belt, team India would look to sign off on a winning note before heading off to the gruelling trip to Australia when they take on a spirited but inconsistent West Indies in the fifth and final one-dayer in Chennai.
Match starts at 2:30pm IST
4TH ODI - INDIA VS WEST INDIES - INDORE, DEC 8
Sehwag's One-Day Record 219 wins series [IND-WIN:3-1(4/5)]
Dec 8, 2011
Virender Sehwag broke the world record for highest individual ODI score, getting to 219 from 149 balls (he needed just 140 balls to get his double-century), and taking India to its highest ever team total of 418/5. The 33-year-old right-hand bat surpassed the previous record of 200* by Sachin Tendulkar from 147 balls, against South Africa in Gwailor in 2010. India’s stand-in captain's brutal 149-ball innings included world record-equalling 25 fours and seven sixes. He also became the fastest Indian to score an ODI 150, taking only 112 balls to reach the milestone. It was the 33-year-old Sehwag's 240th one-day international appearance. His first 50 came in 41 balls (55 in 15th over), second in 28 balls (100 in 23rd), third in 43 balls (150 in 36th) and fourth 50 in 28 balls (200 in 44th).
The Indian spinners took nine of the ten wickets with debutant Rahul Sharma claiming three wickets off the last ball of each of his first three overs, and Ravindra Jadeja turning in remarkable figures of 3 for 34 to get West Indies out for 265 with 4 balls to spare. Irfan Pathan, who was recalled for the last two ODIs, remained on the sidelines.

Dec 5, 2011

2nd ODI - India vs West Indies - Visakhapatnam, Dec 2
Second ODI - India win by 5 wickets [IND-WIN:2-0(2/5)]
Dec 2, 2011
A century by Kohli (117 off 123 balls) and 90 not out by Rohit Sharma helped India to a 5 wicket victory over West Indies as Vizag. Chasing a target of 270 set by the West Indies, India reached the target with 11 deliveries to spare.Earlier, Rampaul slammed a maiden one-day fifty on his way to a world record for the most runs scored by a number 10 batsman. Rampaul, who went into the match with an average of 9.47 and a top score of 26 not out, hit six sixes and as many fours to finish unbeaten on 86 from 66 deliveries. He added a remarkable unbeaten 99-run stand for the last wicket with Kemar Roach (24 not out) to help West Indies set 270-run target for India. Reported earlier: With the first ODI under their belt, India will look to run away to a 2-0 lead but both teams will go into the second ODI feeling pretty much neck-and-neck. West Indies, who did much better than expected while defending a low score, have ensured the pressure will be on the Indian batsmen in the second one-dayer. The Dr YSR Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium promises a wicket full of runs.India: Virender Sehwag (Capt.), Gautam Gambhir, Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, Suresh Raina, Ravindra Jadeja, Parthiv Patel (Wicket Keeper), R.

1st ODI - India vs West Indies - Cuttack, Nov 29
India beat West Indies by one wicket in first ODI [IND-WIN:1-0(1/5)]
Nov 29, 2011
Rohit Sharma's match-winning innings of 72 helped India clinch a nerve-wrecking one-wicket victory over the West Indies after they had lost 5 wickets for 23 runs between overs 4 and 12th after an opening partnership of 37 runs. Eleven runs were needed from the final pair - tailenders Varun Aaron and Umesh - off 23 deliveries after India lost Rohit Sharma and Vinay Kumar in two consecutive wicket maiden overs. Both of them took 6 runs each - Aaron from 11 balls, and Yadav from 9 balls - including one boundary each that the Indian fans won't forget for a long time. With West Indies looking for the last wicket, Umesh Yadav drove the final delivery of the match to long-on and the vociferous Cuttack crowd went nuts. Earlier, in-form batsman Darren Bravo hit 60 from 74 balls as the West Indies stuttered to 211 from their 50 overs. Stand-in captain Virender Sehwag won the toss and elected to field first. For India, Parthiv Patel opened the innings with Sehwag, while Aaron, Yadav and Vinay Kumar were the seamers.
Cuttack ODI: India 213 for 9 (Rohit 72, Roach 3-46) beat West Indies 211 for 9 (Bravo 60) by one wicket
Chance for emerging players to prove themselves
Nov 29, 2011
Stand-in captain Virender Sehwag believes that the ODI series against West Indies will provide a fine opportunity to the younger players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane to prove their worth in the absence of Sachin, Dhoni and Yuvraj. With a full house expected to cheer the Indians on what looks like a flat pitch, the man in the spotlight will be newcomer Ravichandran Ashwin, who grabbed 22 wickets with his off-spin in his debut Test series and also scored a century in the final match in Mumbai.India (from): Virender Sehwag (Capt.), Gautam Gambhir, Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, Suresh Raina, Ravindra Jadeja, Parthiv Patel (Wicket Keeper), R. Ashwin, R. Vinay Kumar, Umesh Yadav, Varun Aaron, Rohit Sharma, Manoj Tiwary and Rahul Sharma.
West Indies (from): Darren Sammy (Capt.), Lendl Simmons, Adrian Barath, Danza Hyatt, Marlon Samuels, Darren Bravo, Denesh Ramdin, Kieron Pollard, Andre Russell, Anthony Martin, Jason Mohammed, Sunil Narine, Kieran Powell, Ravi Rampaul and Kemar Roach.
