Stats: Virat Kohli creates history in the third ODI
Though things didn't go well for the Indian team as they lost the third ODI against West Indies at the MCA Stadium in Pune by 43 runs, it was a normal day in the office for skipper Virat Kohli as he created several records during his 38th ODI century.
Kohli's 107 off 119 balls wasn't enough for India to chase down 284 as they were dismissed for 240, thanks to some fantastic bowling effort by West Indies. Put into bat first, Shai Hope's 95, along with Shimron Hetmyer's 37 and a crucial 40 from Ashley Nurse towards the end, helped the visitors post 283/9 in their 50 overs. Jasprit Bumrah was the pick of the Indian bowlers with figures of 4/35.
