#6 Ramnaresh Sarwan
Ramnaresh Sarwan strengthened the West Indies batting lineup and played innumerable crucial knocks during his long stint. He was known for his ability to bat at any position and anchor the innings.
In 2006, India visited West Indies for a 5-ODI series and after two ODIs, the series was leveled at one a piece. The focus shifted to the 3rd ODI which was also Sarwan's 100th ODI game. India won the toss and chose to bat first but only managed to score a meagre 245-9 in 50 overs.
In reply, West Indies lost two quick wickets and were reduced to 31-2. Sarwan then took over and never looked back as he built key partnerships with Gayle and Chanderpaul, enroute to a century. He remained unbeaten on 115 off 119 and the home team eked out a win with one ball remaining. Sarwan was presented the Man of the Match trophy.
West Indies went on to win the series, 4-1. Ramnaresh Sarwan was the Man of the Series for his 273 runs in 5 innings at an average of 91.00.
