India completed an absolute rout over the Windies as the men in blue took a 2-0 lead in the series with just 2 games left. As a way of testing the middle order, the visitors had a field day as India’s experienced men came to the fore in the form of Yuvraj Singh, Ajinkya Rahane and MS Dhoni. In particular, it was the sheer brilliance of Dhoni which stood out as the veteran’s 79 ball 78 turned out to be the difference and a match winning knock.
Thanks to a blitz from Kedar Jadhav at the end and MS Dhoni, India put on 251 on board and considering the circumstances, it was a good total. However, the Windies never turned up for the chase and surrendered meekly yet again, getting bowled out for just 158.
Fans on Twitter reacted as the game went on and below are some of the tweets.
Enjoying Dhoni's comments through the stump microphone. Almost a commentary. And calling it before it happens!!
