Legends hail Rohit and Rayudu’s match-winning knocks

India hammered the West Indies by 224 runs in the fourth ODI to lead the 5-match series 2-1 in the fourth One-Day International at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai

India hammered the West Indies by 224 runs in the fourth ODI to lead the 5-match series 2-1 at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai. With this win India has assured that they won’t lose the series. Rohit Sharma’s record-breaking 162 and Ambati Rayudu’s 3rd ODI ton turned the much-important match into the biggest nightmare for Windies on Monday.

However, Captain Virat Kohli failed to deliver with the bat. The 29–year-old was dismissed by Kemar Roach for 16, attaining his lowest ODI score this year.

Eventually, the West Indian squad got all-out for 153 runs. Rohit Sharma was awarded Man of the Match for his brilliant 21^st century at his home ground. The fifth and the final ODI will be played on Thursday in Thiruvananthapuram.

Here's how Twitter reacted to India's victory...

Congratulation #TeamIndia on defeating #WestIndies by 224 runs in #Mumbai ODI. Special thanks to Rohit Sharma @ImRo45 Ambati Rayudu @RayuduAmbati for scoring tons, & our bowlers Khaleel Ahmed, Kuldeep Yadav @imkuldeep18 #INDvWI

A good all-round performance today by India. Khaleel Ahmed was brilliant in that spell and being a left-armer can become the third seamer for the world cup. Rayudu at 4 and Khaleel as third seamer might be few of the gaps that are needed to be filled #IndvWI

Good intent from India today. Nice collective effort with the bat. Rohit Sharma was a treat to watch as he always is when in full flow but a very important 100 for @RayuduAmbati and feel happy for him #IndvWI
