India vs West Indies 2011-12 ODI Cricket Series in India
5th ODI - India vs West Indies - Chennai, Dec 11
India win despite Pollard century [IND-WIN:4-1(5/5)]
Dec 11, 2011 A blistering maiden century by Pollard (110-ball knock of 119, with 10 sixes) couldn't help West Indies as they fell 34 runs short of India's score of 267/6. Irfan Pathan caused plenty of excitement with his famous inswingers and took 2-42, including a wicket of the very first delivery on his return. The West Indies had slumped to 78 for five before an 89-run stand between Pollard and Russell brought them back into the match. The hosts, who won the toss for the fifth consecutive time in this series, lost two quick wickets in the first three balls, but a maiden century by Manoj Tiwary on a sweltering day in Chennai helped India's cause. Tiwary retired hurt with cramp after a 117-run partnership with Kohli (80) who became the highest ODI run-scorer in 2011. Out of 34 matches he played this year, Kohli has scored 1381 runs at an average of 47.62 from 34 ODIs. This phenomenal achievement includes 4 centuries and 8 half-tons. Virender Sehwag, R Ashwin and Vinay Kumar made way for Irfan Pathan, Ajinkya Rahane and Manoj Tiwary. India's home season has featured only two losses out of 14 matches. Rohit Sharma, who scored 305 (including three fifties) at an average of 76.25, was named man-of-the-series and Manoj Tiwary the man-of-the-match for his 104. Ravindra Jadeja (9 at 23.77) and Kemar Roach (9 at 30.44) are the top wicket-takers in the series.

4TH ODI - INDIA VS WEST INDIES - INDORE, DEC 8
Sehwag's One-Day Record 219 wins series [IND-WIN:3-1(4/5)]
Dec 8, 2011  Virender Sehwag broke the world record for highest individual ODI score, getting to 219 from 149 balls (he needed just 140 balls to get his double-century), and taking India to its highest ever team total of 418/5. The 33-year-old right-hand bat surpassed the previous record of 200* by Sachin Tendulkar from 147 balls, against South Africa in Gwailor in 2010. India’s stand-in captain's brutal 149-ball innings included world record-equalling 25 fours and seven sixes. He also became the fastest Indian to score an ODI 150, taking only 112 balls to reach the milestone. It was the 33-year-old Sehwag's 240th one-day international appearance. His first 50 came in 41 balls (55 in 15th over), second in 28 balls (100 in 23rd), third in 43 balls (150 in 36th) and fourth 50 in 28 balls (200 in 44th).
The Indian spinners took nine of the ten wickets with debutant Rahul Sharma claiming three wickets off the last ball of each of his first three overs, and Ravindra Jadeja turning in remarkable figures of 3 for 34 to get West Indies out for 265 with 4 balls to spare. Irfan Pathan, who was recalled for the last two ODIs, remained on the sidelines.

Chasing a target of 270 set by the West Indies, India reached the target with 11 deliveries to spare. Earlier, Rampaul slammed a maiden one-day fifty on his way to a world record for the most runs scored by a number 10 batsman.
