Rohit Sharma made a successful comeback and helped India come back from the jaws of an embarrassing defeat. The one-day thriller at Cuttack was so much like the gripping stuff dished out at the Mumbai Test which preceded this series. And that India crossed the finishing line at the Barabati Stadium, something which they failed to do at the Wankhede, was because of the nature of the last Indian pair Umesh Yadav (6 not out) and Varun Aaron (6 not out).
When Umesh’s boundary brought the winning runs for the home team, an ecstatic Rohit was visibly the happiest man, jumping with unrestrained joy. The one-wicket win was as much India’s as Rohit’s. Returning to international cricket after an almost three-month injury lay-off because of a cracked finger, Rohit played a stellar 72-run innings and broke the hearts of the West Indies players who, perhaps, surpassed their own prospect and put up an excellent bowling performance.
When Vinay Kumar departed, India was unfaithfully placed at 201 for nine. The target was 11 steps away, but with Yadav and Aaron in charge, it was actually an Everest to climb. But that sports involve not only skill, but also heart was once again shown by this brave-heart pair. It was a low day for the top-order of either side. If the West Indies had slumped to 52 for three during their innings, the Indians gave them a strong competition in weakness as they were reduced to 59 for five during the reply.
