India beat WI by 153 runs, clinch ODI series

Team India clinched the ODI series against West Indies with a convincing 153-run win in the fourth cricket one-dayer in Indore to take an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five match series. Swashbuckling opener Virender Sehwag created history by scoring the highest-ever ODI score of 219 runs. The 33-year-old Sehwag was at his explosive best as he became only the second batsman after Sachin Tendulkar to reach the 200-run landmark in ODIs and propelled India to their highest ever one-day total of 418 for five. The hosts then dismissed the West Indians for 265 in 49.2 overs to wrap up the five-match series in style, rendering the fifth match in Chennai on Sunday, inconsequential. Debutant spinner Rahul Sharma was the pick of the Indian bowlers with three for 43.
