Summary
India lose by 103 runs; Tiwary returns after 103 ODIs
By Rajneesh Gupta
Antigua, June 13: Having won the five-match series by bagging the first three games against West Indies, India turned out a below-par performance at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium marked by a batting no-show. Interestingly, the record losing margin was the same figure that denotes the number of games that Manoj Tiwary missed between two consecutive appearances for India – 103. Take a look at the stats highlight from West Indies’ redemption game.
103 - Number of matches missed by Manoj Tiwary between two consecutive appearances for India. His only other ODI was against Australia at Brisbane in February 2008. Quite surprisingly, Tiwary is way down at No. 11 in the list of players who’ve missed most matches between two consecutive appearances for India, which is headed by Sairaj Bahutule (196 matches missed between 1998 and 2003).
103 - Margin of defeat for India - their biggest ever against West Indies in West Indies. The previous biggest was by 101 runs at Georgetown in 1989.
96 - Runs added by Kieron Pollard and Carlton Baugh for the sixth wicket - West Indies’ best partnership for this wicket against India at home soil. The pair obliterated the previous record stand of 71 between S Chanderpaul and Ridley Jacobs at Port-of-Spain in 2002.
70 - Kieron Pollard’s highest score against a Test-playing side, notched up during this game.
9 - Number of wickets taken by Amit Mishra in the series - the most by an Indian in a series against West Indies. He shares the record with Anil Kumble (twice), Ravi Shastri and Ajit Agarkar.
8 - Number of illegitimate deliveries bowled by Ishant Sharma - three no-balls and five wides. This equals the worst performance by an Indian against West Indies. Ajit Agarkar had also bowled eight illegitimate deliveries (all wides) at Chennai in 2007.
1 - Rohit Sharma became the first batsman to aggregate 200 runs in the series. He was also dismissed for the first time in the series, earning a whopping batting average of 200.00
