Architect of West Indies' splendid 16-run win over India, man-of-the-match pacer Ravi Rampaul said getting early breakthroughs was the key to his side's triumph in the third ODI here.

"I would say it was about getting early breakthroughs," said Rampaul at the post-match press conference last night when asked if that was the key point of the match or the whirlwind stand of 91 between his captain Darren Sammy and Andre Russell.
