Rohit Sharma struck an unbeaten 86 to guide India to a series victory over the West Indies with their three-wicket win in the third one-day international of the five-match series here Saturday. Sharma's 91-ball innings helped India overhaul West Indies' total of 225 for eight in 50 overs. But the highlight of the day was 23-year-old Andre Russell's unbeaten 92 that took the hosts to a respectable total, as at 96 for seven, they were staring at the ignominy of being bowled out for 100 runs. Russell was also adjudged as the Man of the Match.

India also suffered a similar middle-order collapse as they were struggling at 92 for six in the 23rd over, but a 88-run stand for the seventh wicket between Sharma and Harbhajan Singh (41) saw the visitors reach 228 for seven with 22 balls to spare.
