Manoj Tiwary didn't know much about British athlete Derek Redmond before he bumped into a Youtube clip of former British 400m runner while searching for motivational videos on the internet.

Statistical highlights of the fifth and final one-dayer between India and the West Indies.

Middle-order batsman Manoj Tiwary, who guided India to a 34-run victory over the West Indies in the fifth and final one-dayer here today, dedicated his match-winning century to those who died in a Kolkata hospital fire on Friday.

India completed a fantastic year as far as home one-day internationals are concerned with another victory over West Indies in a topsy-turvy ODI, on a sweltering day in Chennai, to make the series scoreline 4-1.

The Indian and West Indian camps seem unanimous that the Chepauk pitch will be slow and might assist spinners in the fifth and concluding game of the ODI series to be played here on Sunday.

With weather Gods showering benevolence instead of rains as the region is in the midst of north-east monsoon, the least one can say about Sunday's fifth and concluding ODI game between Indian and the West Indies here at Chepauk is that a full match is very much a possibility.

With the series under their belt, 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 on Sunday.

India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni was on Friday full of praise for Virender Sehwag and said he always believed that the swashbuckling opener would go past 200-run mark in a ODI match.

His stupendous 219-run show catapulted Virender Sehwag to the top of the one-day cricket record books, the advertisers have rushed in to sign on the flamboyant batsman with deals worth an estimated Rs 10 crore.

The DDCA on Friday announced a cash prize of Rs 25 lakh for Virender Sehwag, who etched his name into the record books following his knock of 219 runs against the West Indies in the fourth one-dayer at Indore's Holkar Stadium.
