Dhoni, Jadhav star in a comfortable win for India

India, after being invited to bat first, looked reeling after they lost the third-wicket in Yuvraj Singh. The scoreboard still just read 100 runs when Mahendra Singh Dhoni joined Ajinkya Rahane in the middle. It was then the magnificent Mahendra who initially controlled the Indian ship with Rahane and later finished off in his own signature style. After Rahane departed on 72 (112), Kedar Jadhav joined the Indian wicket-keeper in the middle and what followed was a mayhem in Antigua. Jadhav scored a blistering 40 off just 26 and MSD finished the Indian innings on 258-4 with a personal score of 78 not-out off 79 deliveries.

West Indies chase never took off and in the very second over an unplayable Umesh Yadav delivery cleaned up their Opener, Evin Lewis. The spin-duo of Kuldeep Yadav and Ravichandran Ashwin scalped three wickets each and West Indies could only manage 158 runs in the 38.1 overs that they could survive. With the 93-run victory in the third ODI, India has an unassailable lead of 2-0 in the five-match series. The first match of the series couldn’t produce a result due to rain.
