India thrashed Windies by nine wickets in the fifth ODI to seal the series 3-1. Asked to bowl first, India bowled out the visitors for just 104. Rohit Sharma’s fifty then helped them chase down the total inside 15 overs. And several players have made significant gains after impressing in the five-match series.
