The story
At the PCA International Cricket Stadium in New Chandigarh, West Indies completed a record-breaking chase, overcoming India's formidable total of 351/7 to win the third ODI by five wickets. India, batting first after winning the toss, saw KL Rahul unleash an unbeaten 129 runs from just 87 balls, featuring 10 fours and 6 sixes. Rohit Sharma provided a solid foundation with 92 off 85 deliveries, while Ruturaj Gaikwad added 57. Jayden Seales was the pick of the West Indies bowlers, claiming 3/62.
In response, West Indies captain Shai Hope anchored the chase with a magnificent, unbeaten 162 off 143 balls, including 17 fours and 3 sixes, earning him the Player of the Match award. He was ably supported by Amir Jangoo, who scored 67 off 56 balls, and Keemo Paul's quickfire 44 off 35. West Indies reached their target of 352 with 10 balls to spare, marking their highest successful ODI run chase. India, however, had already sealed the series 2-0 with earlier victories.
