Lendl Simmons was playing his 50th match. He became 51st player from West Indies to do so.
Virat Kohli became the leading run-scorer in ODIs in 2013, surpassing fellow teammate Rohit Sharma’s tally of 1155 runs. At the end of this match, Kohli has aggregated 1218 runs in 30 matches (avg 58.00).
Kohli, while on 39, completed his 2000 runs in ODIs on Indian soil. He became 11th player to do so. Kohli is also the second-quickest to accomplish this feat in terms of innings (46), after Sourav Ganguly (45).
Kohli became the fifth Indian to suffer the misfortune of getting dismissed on 99 in ODIs, after Krish Srikkanth, VVS Laxman, Rahul Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar (thrice). In addition, Virender Sehwag remained unbeaten on 99.
Kohli is the second Indian to be dismissed for 99 in ODIs against West Indies after VVS Laxman (at Nagpur in 2002).
Kohli’s score at Visakhapatnam make an interesting reading: 118 vs Australia in 2010; 117 vs West Indies in 2011 and 99 vs West Indies in this game.
Ravindra Jadeja’s wicket of Lendl Simmons was his 50th in ODIs in the year 2013. He became the first bowler to reach this mark this year. Jadeja is also only the third Indian to take 50 wickets in a calendar year, after Anil Kumble (61 wickets in 1996) and Ajit Agarkar (58 wickets in 1998).
Jadeja is the first left-arm bowler to take 50 ODI wickets in a calendar year. Irfan Pathan had taken 47 wickets in 2004. Among the spinners, Bangladesh’s Shakib Al Hasan held the record previously with 46 wickets in 2010.
Darren Sammy (63*) made his second-highest score in ODIs, after 84 vs Australia at Gros Islet in 2012.
The chase was West Indies’ fourth highest successful chase in ODIs, after 300/3 vs South Africa at Centurion in 2004, 292/6 vs New Zealand at Kingstown in 2002 and 291/5 vs India at Baroda in 2002.
The defeat was India’s first in five ODIs at Visakhapatnam.

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’
