Statistical highlights, India v West Indies
- The victory margin of three wickets in the ICC Champions Trophy league match is the West Indies' narrowest against India. They had earlier beaten India by four wickets on five occasions.
- India's loss earned Sachin Tendulkar a dubious record: he now shares the world record of appearing in most LOST matches along with Sri Lanka's Aravinda de Silva. Both Tendulkar and de Silva have appeared in 163 lost matches each.
- Shivnarine Chanderpaul won his tenth Man of the Match award, his third against India.
- Chanderpaul played his 200th One-Day International and became the 51st player overall and sixth West Indian, after Brian Lara (280-276 for West Indies & 4 - for World XI), Desmond (238), Carl Hooper (227), Richie Richardson (224) and Courtney Walsh (205), to do so.
- Rahul Dravid (49) on 28 completed 3,000 runs on Indian soil -- only the third batsman to do so after Sachin Tendulkar (4,973 runs in 122 matches and Mohammad Azharuddin (3,163 in 113 matches). Dravid played his 82nd match and 79th innings on Indian soil.
- M S Dhoni (51) scored his ninth ODI fifty (apart from two hundreds) in his 54th match - his first in 10 matches against the West Indies.
- Dhoni's strike-rate of 78.46 is his lowest in an innings of fifty or more. Against Pakistan in second match of DLF Cup at Abu Dhabi in April this year he scored 59 runs off 72 balls, at a strike-rate of 81.94, which was his previous slowest fifty.
- The dismissal of Suresh Raina off Samuels gave wicketkeeper Carlton Baugh his first stumping in his 22nd match.
- The run-out dismissal brought Ramnaresh Sarwan's batting average down against India from 71.08 to 69.69 -- still the highest for any batsman who has appeared in at least 10 games against India. Sarwan has now made eight fifty-plus scores against India in 20 games.
- Agarkar's wicket of Dwayne Smith was his 100th on Indian soil. He became fourth player after Anil Kumble (123 wickets in 87 matches), Javagal Srinath (103 in 80) and Kapil Dev (100 in 85) to reach this landmark.
- Playing his 69th match on home soil, Agarkar became the second fastest to do so in terms of matches after Anil Kumble (66). Srinath and Kapil Dev took 75 and 82 matches respectively for their 100th scalps.
Agarkar, however, is the quickest in terms of balls, taking only 3044 deliveries (up to the end of the innings). Kumble, with 3,650 deliveries, was the previous fastest among the Indians.
