India vs Windies, 2018: Fifth ODI – Statistical Highlights

India, on Thursday, made light work of Windies in the final ODI to seal the five-match series 3-1. It was an absolute no-contest as the hosts thrashed the visitors by nine wickets.

Barring the toss, almost everything went India’s way. Asked to bowl first, it took India only 31.5 overs to wrap up the Windies innings for just 104. In reply, the Men in Blue lost Shikhar Dhawan for just 6. However, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli shared an unbeaten partnership of 99 runs to take the team home inside 15 overs.

With the game now done and dusted, we take a look at the statistical highlights:

1. Windies total of 104 is their lowest ODI total against India. Their previous smallest total against India was 121 which they scored in Port of Spain way back in 1997. Windies’ 104 is also the 3rd lowest ODI total for any team against India in India.

4. India’s left-arm trio- Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav and Khaleel Ahmed – finished the game with seven wickets. They had also picked up the same number of wickets in the previous game.  These are the only two instances where India’s left-arm bowlers claimed seven and more wickets in an ODI since the 2011 World Cup.

5. Rohit Sharma hit sixteen sixes in the series which are the joint 3rd most by any Indian in an ODI series/tournament. The record is held by Rohit too for his 23 sixes in the seven-match ODI series against Australia in 2013. MS Dhoni is second in the list for his 17 sixes in the seven-match series against Sri Lanka in 2005. Sourav Ganguly also hit as many as 16 during the Triangular series in 2001/02 in South Africa.

6. Rohit Sharma became the seventh player and second Indian player to hit 200 sixes in ODIs. The right-hander, who now has 202 ODI sixes, also became the fastest to the mark taking only 187 innings. Pakistan’s Shahid Afridi previously held the record for reaching 200 sixes in 195 innings.

7. Virat Kohli finished the series with 453 runs which is the 3rd most by any player in a five-match bilateral ODI series. Fakhar Zaman holds the record for scoring 515 runs against Zimbabwe while second-placed  Hamilton Masakadza scored 467 against Kenya.

8. Shikhar Dhawan finished the series without scoring a fifty. This was the first instance in his career where he failed to score a fifty in a series where he played five innings.
