The Story in 60 Seconds

West Indies captain Shai Hope battled a leg injury to score a match-winning century, leading his side to a record-breaking five-wicket victory over India in the final ODI in New Chandigarh. Chasing India's massive total of 351-7, West Indies sealed their highest successful ODI run chase despite a heated DRS controversy involving Sherfane Rutherford.

Rutherford was left furious after third umpire Sharfuddoula upheld his caught-behind dismissal off Naman Dhir, ruling he edged the ball despite replays showing bat hitting pad. Earlier, KL Rahul's unbeaten 129 and Rohit Sharma's 92 lifted India from 4-2, but Hope smashed 40 off his final 16 deliveries to secure the consolation win.
