Coming off a shocking defeat against the gritty Windies, India needed to win the fourth ODI to stand a chance to win the series and after winning the toss, Virat Kohli opted to bat first and Rohit Sharma did what he does the best - score daddy hundreds.

His 162 was lamented by many as a missed double hundred, since three of his previous six 150 plus scores turned out to be double tons.

However, the biggest positive for India was the hundred by Ambati Rayudu, which to a large extent, settled the debate for the number four slot. The third wicket partnership between Rohit and Rayudu added a massive 211 runs, which had a boundary in every 5.4 balls.

The sublime hitting from Rohit finally came to an end when he edged a delivery from Ashley Nurse, but Rayudu kept on his the momentum to reach his third ODI century.

Quick-fire cameos from MS Dhoni and Kedar Jadhav ensured India finished on a high, with 116 coming off the last 10 overs. A total of 220 runs came from boundaries in India's innings while Windies bowler Keemo Paul registered the joint worst ODI figures for the Windies against India (1-88).

In the second innings, Khaleel Ahmed's swinging deliveries then proved too much for the Caribbean batsmen as they continued to bat in the way they were doing throughout the series.

Kuldeep Yadav ripped through the remaining batting as both of them finished with 3 wickets each. The visitors lost the game with a massive margin of 225 runs despite a gritty 54 from skipper Jason Holder.
