This series came just after India had won the World Cup on home turf and thus the board decided to rest the majority of their first team players.

Suresh Raina captained the side as three successful chases resulted in a famous series win for India. The third match proved to be the most entertaining one as both sides collapsed in their respective batting innings but India somehow got past the finishing line.

West Indies batted first and at one stage were crumbling at 96/7 before Andre Russell's power hitting took them to a respectable score of 225. India should have got there easily but they too were reduced to 92/6 before Rohit Sharma and Harbhajan Singh managed an 88 run partnership to steady the ship.

Then Rohit combined well with Praveen Kumar to take India home with just three wickets in hand. It was Sharma's calm approach which helped India win this game and with it, the series.
