Rohit-Sharma-Virat-Kohli-INDIA-vs-WEST-INDIES-1st-ODI-2013

Chris Gayle recorded his 22nd duck in ODIs – his fifth against India. He now holds the dubious distinction of aggregating most ducks for West Indies against India, surpassing Ridley Jacobs’ tally of four ducks.

Ravindra Jadeja – with the wicket of Darren Sammy – became the highest wicket-taker in ODIs in year 2013. He surpassed Pakistan’s Saeed Ajmal’s tally of 48.

Suresh Raina (3/34) returned his best figures in ODIs, bettering his 2/17 also against West Indies at Indore in 2011-12. Incidentally, it was only the second time in his career of 181 matches that Raina bowled his full quota of 10 overs. The only other such instance was against Australia at Brisbane in 2012 when Raina conceded 44 runs in his 10 overs without taking a wicket.

Rohit Sharma (72) became the leading run-scorer in ODIs in 2013, surpassing Misbah-ul-Haq’s tally of 1119. At the end of this match, Rohit has a tally of 1143 runs in 2013.

Virat Kohli (86) completed 5000 runs in ODIs. By taking just 114 innings to do so, he equaled Viv Richards’ record of being the quickest to this milestone. The previous Indian record was held by Sourav Ganguly (in 126 innings).

Since the start of the Zimbabwe tour, Virat Kohli has been in sublime form in ODIs. His scores: 115, 14, 68*, 61, 100, 68*, 115*, 0 and 86.

Since 2010, India have won 30 out of 41 ODIs played at home. They have lost only 9. One match was tied and one was abandoned.

India have now won 21 matches out of 29 they have played in 2013. They have won more in a calendar year only once – 24 in 1998.

Kohli won his 17th Man of the Match award – his fifth against West Indies.

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’
