Chennai: A maiden international century by Manoj Tewary powered India to a 34-run win against the West Indies in the fifth and concluding game as the hosts wrapped up the One-day series 4-1 here Sunday.
Tewary's 104 (125b, 10 x 4, 1 x 6) and his 117-run partnership with Virat Kohli (80 off 85 balls) that ended when the former retired due to cramps, helped India score 267 for six after losing two wickets in the first over. In reply, the West Indies caved in for 233 despite a power-packed 119 (110b, 4 x 4, 10 x 6) by Kieron Pollard and 53 by Andre Russell.
Pollard, in notching his first ODI century, to an extent redeemed himself on an otherwise disappointing tour, but his heroics along with that of Russell did nothing to mask the gap between the two teams though the West Indies, on occasions did run the hosts close as they did on Sunday night.
