India vs West Indies, Highlights 5th ODI: India Beat Windies By 9 Wickets, Win ODI Series 3-1
Highlights: India vs West Indies 5th ODI: India registered an impressive nine-wicket win in the fifth and final match to clinch the ODI series 3-1.
India crushed the Windies by nine wickets in the fifth and final One Day International (ODI) to clinch the five-match series 3-1 in Thiruvananthapuram on Thursday. Chasing a paltry total of 105, India completed the run-chase without breaking a sweat. Rohit Sharma led the team from the front, scoring an unbeaten 63 off just 56 balls, wrapping up the match in 14.5 overs. Skipper Virat Kohli provided able support at the other end with his steady 33-run knock. Opener Shikhar Dhawan (6) was the only causality for the Indian team in the chase of a small target. Earlier, in the first innings, riding on a four-wicket haul from left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja, India bundled out the Windies for a paltry 104. The visitors suffered a terrible batting collapse as Jadeja ripped through the Windies batting line-up in the final match of the series. After winning the toss, Windies captain Jason Holder elected to bat but the decision went horribly wrong for the team. Bhuvneshwar Kumar struck in the first over of the match dismissing Kieran Powell for nought. Jasprit Bumrah, in the second over of the innings removed Shai Hope (0) putting the visitors under pressure. Jadeja, then came on and clinched wickets of Marlon Samuels (24) and Shimron Hetmyer (9) reducing the Windies to 53 for four. Skipper Jason Holder (25) tried to steady the Windies' ship but Khaleel Ahmed and Kuldeep Yadav picked wickets at regular intervals, not allowing the Windies to make a comeback in the match. Jadeja, then wrapped up the tail-enders bundling the Windies out in 31.5 overs. For India, Jadeja was the most impressive bowler ending with figures of 4-34. Jasprit Bumrah (2-11) and Khaleel Ahmed (2-29) picked up two wickets each while Bhuvneshwar Kumar (1-11) and Kuldeep Yadav (1-18) bagged a wicket apiece. (SCORECARD)

13:00 IST: Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the fifth and final ODI between India and Windies.Â
His deputy Rohit Sharma, who did not have an ODI century against the Windies before this series, now has two. His 137-ball 162 was vital to India putting up 377/5 in the fourth ODI. Rayudu seems to have solved India's No.4 conundrum for now. He scored his third hundred in ODI cricket at Brabourne Stadium in the fourth game and is looking solid. The flamboyant Shikhar Dhawan has not capitalised on the starts while veteran Mahendra Singh Dhoni has found runs hard to come by.
Left out of the T20 squad for the upcoming series in Australia, the former India skipper will hope to make a contribution in front of the stumps, too, even though his work behind them has been stupendous. Dhoni stands on the cusp of a milestone, needing one run to reach the 10,000 mark in India colours (he has scored 174Â runs for Asia XI).
India's premier pacers, Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, have picked up right where they left off before the Asia Cup. They were included in the squad for the last three ODIs, and have looked reliable. The spinners have been outstanding.
