India already clinching the one day cricket series against West Indies did experiment today at the last match in Chennai. Though they have been saying all the time that winning is the main focus and want to finish on a confident note for the coming Australian tour they included several new players including Irfan and Tiwary and rested Sehwag who created history in the fourth match. Luckily the newbies did well with Tiwary getting a century and Irfan two wickets. Under the second stand-in skipper Gambhir India managed to post a target of 267 runs which was gettable despite the pitch being slow and ball keeping low.
Except for an incredible hundred by Pollard that included huge lusty shots the West Indies innings was not much of an effort. Pollard boost made the fifth match exciting and close like all the other four. At the end India won comfortably by 34 run. Coming good again Jadeja captured 3 wickets.
Tiwary was chosen man of the match and Rohit Sharma deservedly got the man of the series award.
Meanwhile Indian skipper MS Dhoni said that key players of Team India have been well rested and they will be fully on-the-go for the Australian tour. At the moment all eyes are focused on the excitement of this starting end of December.
