Windies v India 2017: Only T20I – Statistical Highlights

The inclusion of big names to Windies squad didn’t affect India much in the one-off T20I as Evin Lewis, who had a miserable outing in the ODI series turned up at Jamaica to smash his 2nd T20I century; both of them are against India. The visitors crawled to 190/6 in 20 overs from 150/2 in 15.2 after losing the toss once again. Lewis kept hitting big sixes to bring down the asking rate despite Chris Gayle and Marlon Samuels looking not quite fluent at the other end. Lewis smashed 12 sixes in his record breaking 125* to power his side to a 9-wicket win.

Here we look at all the stats and records created during the game.
