7th Match (Final), India v West Indies, Coca Cola Cup, Statistical Highlights
Rajneesh Gupta - 8 July 2001
- It was the 1734th ODI in the cricket history. It was India's 469th and
West Indies' 429th match. It was the 66th match between these two
sides. The record now reads : West Indies 41,India 23,tied one and
abandoned one. Umpires Ian Robinson and Russell Tiffin were
officiating in their 79th and 32nd match respectively. Saurav Ganguly
won toss for the sixth consecutive time. Darren Ganga (71) recorded
his highest ODI score in his 15th match. His previous highest was 66
against Zimbabwe at Harare in this series on June 23.
- Wavell Hinds ,on 9, completed his 1000 runs in his ODI career. He was
playing his 38th match and 37th innings. Hinds became 18th West Indian
and the 146th batsman in ODI history to do so.
- The 108 run partnership between Carl Hooper and Shivnarine Chanderpaul
was the second best partnership for the West Indies against India for
the fourth wicket after the 126 between Hooper and Jimmy Adams at
Jaipur on November 11,1994. However the stand is the best for the
Windies against India at a neutral venue. The previous best was the 81
between Viv Richards and Gus Logie at Sharjah on November 30,1986.
- Hooper's 66 was his highest score as a captain. His previous highest
was 57 against South Africa at Port Elizabeth on January 30,1999.
- West Indies' total (290-6) was its second highest against India in
ODIs. The best still remains as the 333-8 in 45 overs at Jamshedpur on
December 7,1983.
- West Indies' innings included three fifties - Ganga (71),Hooper (66)
and Chanderpaul (50) ,which equals the record of maximum individual
fifties in a match against India. This was the 24th such occasion
against India and second for West Indies. The only other instance took
place at Berbice on March 29,1983 when Viv Richards (64), Foud Bacchus
(52) and Jeff Dujon (53*) scoring fifties.
- Tendulkar was getting dismissed for the 13th time in his career in his
273rd match. He last failed to open his account in the match against
New Zealand at Delhi on November 17,1999 in his 229th match.
- This was Tendulkar's fourth duck against West Indies. He now equals
the tally of four ducks by Arun Lal - the maximum ducks by an Indian
batsman against West Indies.
- This was the fourth time Tendulkar failed to open his account in the
grand final of a tournament. His other ducks being : v Pakistan at
Sharjah on October 25,1991 (first ball) in Wills Trophy; v Sri Lanka
at Colombo (SSC) on September 17,1994 (2nd ball) in Singer Cup and v
West Indies at Singapore on September 8,1999 (six balls) in Coca Cola
Cup. Tendulkar is now moving towards recording a dubious distinction
that is aggregating most ducks in a career for India. With 13 ducks to
his name Tendulkar is now placed jointly second among the Indians with
most ducks on their name. Javagal Srinath heads the table with 14
ducks while Tendulkar alongwith Anil Kumble and Kapil Dev have 13
ducks to their (dis)credit.
- The sixth wicket partnership of 101 runs between Reetinder Singh Sodhi
and Sameer Dighe was India's second best for this wicket against West
Indies after the 113 run-partnership between Kapil Dev and Ravi
Shastri at Nagpur on December 8,1987.The partnership was the best ever
for the sixth wicket by any team on Zimbabwe soil. The previous best
was the unbeaten 90 between Graeme Hick and Mark Ealham for England
against the home team at Bulawayo on February 16, 2000.
- Sodhi (2-31 and 67 runs) recorded his best batting and bowling
performances in the same match. Interestingly, his previous best all-
round performance (53* and 2-43) also came in the same match against
Zimbabwe at Rajkot on December 14,2000.
- The unbroken partnership of 65 runs between Dighe and Debasis Mohanty
was the best for the ninth wicket for India against the West Indies.
The pair bettered the previous best of 29 runs between Chetan Sharma
and Arshad Ayub at Ahmedabad on January 7,1988. The partnership was
also the best for the ninth wicket on Zimbabwean soil by any team
bettering the previous best of 55 runs between the New Zealanders
Chris Harris and Gavin Larsen at Bulawayo on October 1,1997.
- Sameer Dighe's unbeaten 94 was the highest ever individual score by a
"genuine" Indian `keeper in ODIs. Stopgap keeper Rahul Dravid has
scores of 145 (v Sri Lanka at Taunton, 26-5-1999) and 103 not out (v
West Indies at Singapore, 8-9-1999). Interestingly the previous
highest by a genuine Indian keeper against West Indies was a paltry 33
by Kiran More at Nagpur on December 8,1987.Dighe also bettered his
previous best of 36*against Australia at Perth on January 30,2000.
- Dighe's innings was the second highest by any batsman in all matches
at number seven. Sri Lankan Hassan Tillekeratne (100 v West Indies at
Sharjah on October 16,1995) heads the following list.

- Corey Collymore (4-49) recorded his best bowling figures in his ninth
match.His previous best was the 2-29 against South Africa at Port of
Spain on May 12,2001.
- Leon Garrick became only the second West Indian to take two catches in
a match as a substitute. The only other being Keith Arthurton (v
England at Gwalior on October 27,1989). The total was India's highest
against West Indies while batting second. This obliterated the
previous highest of 256 for two in 49.2 overs at Cuttack on November
9,1994.It was also only the 17th occasion a side scored 250 plus runs
batting second against West Indies. India's total was also the third
highest by any side against West Indies batting second and still
losing the match. Sri Lanka had made 329 at Sharjah on October 16,1995
and Australia had made 274 at Lord's in 1975 World Cup final. The
match aggregate of 564 for the loss of 14 wickets was a new record in
India-West Indies matches. This bettered the previous highest of 537
for 14 at Berbice on March 29,1983. India has not won a tournament
since November 1998, when it won the Coca Cola Cup at Sharjah beating
Zimbabwe in the final. Since then India has qualified for the final of
a tournament on as many as seven occasions without winning once.
- Saurav Ganguly has now captained India in five tournaments (consisting
of three or more teams) only to lose the final on three occasions.
