Thanks for joining us. Do join us on Sunday for the second game.
Yuvraj: First 20 balls I was struggling. As I got going, I got the momentum, played a few shots. It's a bit different when you play 50-over cricket, hopefully we'll get used to it when you play a few more games.
Yuvraj Singh is the Man of the Match for his knock of 131 off 102 balls.
Dhoni: Most of the guys thought we'd won when they were 7-down, that's the mistake we made. He (Yuvraj) has proved himself, everytime we need him, he scores his runs.
Gayle: I thought it was a good game. Looking forward to Sunday and hoping to square the series. It was a good effort.
A good fight by West Indies but they just lost big wickets at crucial times. Gayle got them off to a big start, Sarwan threw his wicket away just when he was set, Bravo was unlucky and Chanderpaul fell in the batting powerplay but the lower order still made a good fight of it.
India have won by 20 runs and lead the 4-match series 1-0.
