In his steadily building innings, Dhoni smashed 4 fours and 2 sixes, with both maximums coming against Windies skipper Jason Holder on consecutive deliveries in the 47th over.


It was the second six that drew special praise, not just from commentators but twitterati too.







When asked

"Our top-order has been doing the bulk of the scoring in the last one-one and a half years, so it felt good to get an opportunity and score runs."


Team India next face West Indies on June 2 in the 4th ODI, hoping to wrap-up the series with a 3-0 lead.
