Visakhapatnam, Dec 2: India may have won 11 matches at home on the trot but this latest win was not wihtout its hiccup. Ravi Rampaul, No. 10 batsman for West Indies, scored a record 86* to torment the Indian bowlers and set India a target of 270. This after the visitors had been reduced to a dodgy 149 for eight. In the end, it was a sterling partnership between Virat Kohli (117) and Rohit Sharma (90*) that saw India through.

Take a look at the numbers that matter from the engaging game at Vizag.

This match was the fourth at this ground. India have won all four.

Ravi Rampaul (86*) made the highest score by a No.10 batsman in ODIs, bettering Pakistan’s Mohammad Amir’s unbeaten 73 against New Zealand at Abu Dhabi in 2009. The previous highest score by a No. 10 batsman against India was an unbeaten 56 by Zimbabwean Doug Marillier at Faridabad in 2002.

West Indies were reeling at 149 for eight but ended with 269 for nine – the highest score achieved by any side that lost eight wickets with less than 150 on the board.
 
Virat Kohli (117) scored his eighth ODI hundred; five of them have come in a chase and India have won seven out of eight games in which Kohli has scored a hundred.
 
After 71 matches, Kohli’s run-aggregate stands at 2,737 – more than any other Indian batsman at the same stage. Navjot Sidhu had aggregated 2,708.
 
Kohli has now equalled the world record for most (8) hundreds after 71 matches so far held by Hashim Amla and Salman Butt. It may be noted that Amla is yet to play 71 matches.
 
Kohli won his seventh Man-of-the-Match award – his third against West Indies.
 
India have now won 11 consecutive ODIs at home.

Story behind Yusuf Pathan jersey No. '999'

Like in life, in sports too there are people who remain an enigma. At least to those who watch them from the outside. They fascinate and frustrate in equal measures. At times, one feels they are surviving on their reputation and not its execution. But these enigmatic geniuses often find someone who understands their worth, who believes in them as much as they believe in themselves. Yusuf Pathan is an enigma. Everyone knows of his supreme leather-pounding power and they love him for that. But to their dismay they don’t see that skill being converted into runs. But those close to him and his team mates see what others can’t. His Kolkata Knight Riders skipper, Gautam Gambhir, surely does.  Questions have been raised about Pathan’s place in the KKR Playing XI since the beginning of the 2012 IPL. And with every low score against his name, they have gotten louder. In IPL 2013, Pathan has played three matches so far and scored 18*, 0 and 27.  They’re not big scores but they’

Propelled by Rohit Sharma’s magnificent double-century, India marched to a 153-run win in Kolkata. While Eden Gardens celebrated 150 years, Rohit lit-up the stadium with a well paced 264 off 173 to make the occasion memorable. In doing so, he etched his name in the history books by posting the highest individual score in ODI cricket and became the only batsman to post two double hundreds in the 50-over format till date. It was breathtaking knock by the opener that set-up the match for India. The hosts then bowled the visitors out for 251 to take a 4-0 lead in the series.  (Also Read:  Rohit Sharma 264 Runs - Stats: India vs Sri Lanka, 4th ODI ) Post by Indian Cricket Team Updates .

FULL HD HIGHLIGHTS INDIA v PAKISTAN 1ST ODI, CHENNAI, 30 DEC 2012.

Misbah-ul-Haq:  "It was really good toss to win and the spell by Junaid Khan was very good. He has done it before in a Test match in Sri Lanka. Good to see that the bowlers pitched in the right areas in helping conditions. There was a change in the nature of the pitch. It was more difficult to play in the first half, very well played by Dhoni. But Nasir played an extremely good knock and showed the way by finishing the game. Humidity
