02:50 IST: Virat Kohli, Man of the Match: First and foremost, the aim was to win the series. Some special performance from the boys and special mention to Rahane who has been consistent throughout the series. Today was another clinical performance from us. Something we want to do on a regular basis. Two failures in the last 2 games, I never look at stats and numbers. I always look at the scoreboard and focus on what I need to achieve. I like playing with the tempo of the game. Partnerships help. DK and Rahane have been excellent. If you carry 15 or 16 members in the squad, it's important to believe in them. People are grabbing their opportunities. I have always been a batsman that played the situation and that never changed. I still think the same way. I'm relishing the opportunity.

18:45 IST: Hello and welcome to the live blog of the fifth and final match between India and West Indies. The series is on the line today despite India looking the better of the two sides. The hosts stunned the Men in Blue in the fourth ODI and the visitors will be gunning for revenge and looking to seal the series.
Ravindra Jadeja too played an atrocious shot, resulting in his dismissal, which exposed India's tail to a crunch situation. The top order, led by Shikhar Dhawan and Ajinkya Rahane, who has hit four half-centuries in a row, has done the bulk of scoring and India would need the two batsmen to continue in the same vein. It won't be a surprise if captain Virat Kohli, who minced no words in criticising his team's shot selection, brings about changes in the middle-order.
