CUTTACK: Virat Kohli anchored a tricky chase before Shardul Thakur played the most defining cameo of his short career to power India to a series-winning four-wicket victory over the West Indies in the third ODI on Sunday.
India's top three -- Rohit Sharma (63), KL Rahul (77) and Kohli (85) -- fired in unison in a 316-run chase but it got slippery in the end when the Indian captain left the scene with 30 required off 23 balls.
SCORECARD: India vs West Indies, 3rd ODI
It was then that Thakur, in the company of a composed Ravindra Jadeja (39 not out), smashed 17 runs off six balls with the help of a six and a four off Sheldon Cottrell to seal the issue in his team's favour with eight balls to spare.
This was India's 10th successive series win over the West Indies.
