If one wants to chase a dream or certain targets, India skipper Virat Kohli is the man to follow. The right-handed batsman scored his third consecutive century (107) while chasing West Indies' score of 283-9 in the third ODI on Saturday.

However, the consistent performer fell short of partners as India lost by 43 runs at the Maharashtra Cricket Association's stadium here in Gahunje. West Indies' No. 3 batsman Shai Hope (95) once again raised his team's hopes and stitched a 56-run stand for the third wicket with Shimron Hetmyer (37). Just when It appeared that Hope would get another century, Jasprit Bumrah bowled him a perfect yorker and the stumps were disturbed. After a well-fought tied game in Visakhapatnam, the Jason Holder-led visiting team showed the same intensity and levelled the five match series 1-1. The fourth match will be held in Mumbai on Monday.
