West Indies  

Indian captain Virat Kohli has said he was very much delighted to be in God’s Own Country for the fifth ODI against the West Indies

 

Indian cricketer Khaleel Ahmed violated Article 2.5 of the Code, which relates to "using language, actions or gestures which disparage or which could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batter upon his/her dismissal during an international match". 

 

It was India's third biggest victory in an ODI in terms of runs behind their 257-run win over Bermuda in the 2007 World Cup and 256-run victory against Hong Kong during the Asia Cup in 2008

'We're going to bat first. Looks like a pretty nice and hard surface. There is not much dew around in the second innings, that is what we've heard and the ball tends to move around in the evening. This is generally a high-scoring ground and this looks a good wicket,' Virat Kohli said. The winner of this match will not lose the series

Any discussion on Dhoni's place in the team should move much beyond a complaint of him having scored only two T20I half-centuries over the course of 12 years and 93 matches

Shai Hope, who had struck an unbeaten 123 in the Visakhapatnam ODI, played a significant role in reviving the Caribbean innings with his 95-run knock, which came off 113 balls

'The T20Is here and in Australia, he (MS Dhoni) is not going to play, because we are also looking at a second wicket-keeper," MSK Prasad said at a press conference after the selection meeting in Pune

'Yes, they all recognise you for your U-19 days but we have to keep performing the same way at the higher levels to get a chance,' Shubman Gill said

'Rehab was good. I passed all the tests and came here match fit. It is all fine. Obviously, it hurts when you are in form and get injured, Kedar Jadhav said

'I feel really grateful, I feel really blessed. I never imagined I would get to this stage in my one-day career but it has happened and I am thankful to God,' Virat Kohli said

Virat Kohli becoming the fastest to 10,000 ODI runs was also a point of discussion, but comparison with Sachin Tendulkar is essentially a comparison of two completely different eras and hence avoidable

After the match, Murali Kartik interviewed Shai Hope. He made an error when he addressed Hope as Shimron Hetmyer. However, he corrected his mistake but internet users were quick to latch on to the gaffe and troll him

While Bhuvneshwar and Jasprit returned, Shami, who was expensive in the first two matches, was left out. The right-arm paceman conceded 81 (for two wickets) and 59 runs (for one wicket) in Guwahati and Visakhapatnam respectively

'I thank the countless persons who were instrumental to my success, particularly my family and QPCC where I developed my skills at an early age,' Dwayne Bravo said
