KL Rahul's outstanding unbeaten century (129) was the cornerstone of India's formidable total of 351/7 against the West Indies in the final ODI.
Despite an early wobble that saw India at 4/2 after just three overs, strong batting performances from Rohit Sharma (92) and Ruturaj Gaikwad (55) helped rebuild the innings.
Jayden Seales was the most successful bowler for the West Indies, taking three wickets, although at a significant cost of 62 runs.
