#2 101 runs, Vadodara, 2002

Chris Gayle was in terrific form in the 2002 ODI series

After four riveting encounters between India and West Indies in the 2002 ODI series, the teams were locked at 2-2. Carl Hooper won the toss and elected to field first in the fifth ODI after which the Indian batsmen went on to smash the West Indies’ bowlers to a total of 290 runs in 50 overs.

Nevertheless, the Windies had a fitting reply as the men with the willow took India’s bowlers to the cleaners to chase down the target with seven balls to spare and take a 3-2 lead in the One-Day International series. This was yet another time, Chris Gayle scored a superlative century from 107 balls to win the game for West Indies.

The left-hander shouldered West Indies till the 40^th over to make sure that his team don’t stutter at the finishing line. The Windies, against all odds, would go on to win the series 4-3.
