It was just a small falter in the fourth ODI when India failed to chase down a mini target of 190. Today again, the target was on a lower side and tricky one too but not the form of the Indian team. The visiting side was quick to pocket the series with still 13.1 overs left in the game.
It was skipper Virat Kohli who led the winning team from the front to hand Windies a heavy defeat. Though chasing 206 was never difficult but it needed someone to stay at the crease and complete the task. Virat Kohli was the man for India who did it with an innings of 111*, not to forget his trademark century while chasing a target.
With this win, India won the five-match ODI series by a margin of 3-1, with the first match being called off even before completion of the first innings.
Twitter heaped praises on Virat Kohli for his knock. Here are some best collection on Kohli’s innings –
