27 Number of times India have been bowled out for less than 200 against West Indies, the most against any country. Pakistan have also done this 27 times, while Australia's tally is 25.
3 Number of times Dwayne Bravo has opened the innings for West Indies in ODIs. His innings against India was the first since 2008, when he scored 2 against Sri Lanka in Port-of-Spain.
60 West Indies' win percentage in ODIs over the last year, in which they have won nine out of 15 ODIs. The only teams with a better win percentage during this period are Sri Lanka (64%) and South Africa (73%). India, on the other hand, have only won 12 of the 29 ODIs in the last year, with a win percentage of 41.
246 Number of overs bowled by Ravindra Jadeja over the last year, the most by a bowler in ODIs. The next three on this list are Indians too - R Ashwin, Mohammed Shami and Bhuvneshwar Kumar. This is partly down to India having played 29 ODIs in this period, more than any other team. Pakistan, Sri Lanka and South Africa are the other teams that have played more than 20 games.
9 Number of 50-plus scores by Marlon Samuels against India in ODIs. His next best is five against Bangladesh. He has two hundreds against India and Pakistan, and eight 50-plus scores in India, the most outside the West Indies. Samuels has nine 50-plus scores in the West Indies.
10 Number of West Indian batsmen who have scored 4000-plus runs in one-day cricket. Samuels joined the list during his innings of 126 not out. Overall, 91 batsmen have reached this landmark.
63.3 Denesh Ramdin's batting average over the last 12 months, while also keeping wicket for West Indies. Among wicket-keepers who have played at least 10 ODIs in this period, only MS Dhoni has a better batting average (70.6).
165 Number of runs that Ramdin and Samuels posted for the fourth wicket. This is the third highest fourth wicket partnership for West Indies in ODIs, and their highest against India.
32 Number of ODI wickets taken by Shami in 2014 - the most by any bowler. He started the game on 28 wickets, one behind Lasith Malinga, but his haul of 4 for 66 took him to the top.
14 Number of 50-plus partnerships by the Indian openers over the last two years; no other team has more. The openers posted 49 runs against West Indies and, over the last two years, have averaged 45.2, the best for a top-ten side.
9 Number of single figure scores for Virat Kohli in his last 16 international innings, starting with the Test series in England earlier this year. He has only two 40-plus scores in this period.
