Dhoni's men, however, had the consolation of knocking off the highest ever T20I second innings score which is also the same 236 for 6 which the West Indies made against South Africa.

Leg spinner Amit Mishra (3/24) provided the opening breakthrough by dismissing Johnson Charles (43) and R Ashwin then combined with paceman Jasprit Bumrah to tighten the noose around the West Indies with regular strikes.

It was clear that the Indians came out with a bowling plan when captain Dhoni and vice-captain Kohli were in constant discussion with their bowlers.

Only last month, Lewis played two games at the venue for St Kitts and Nevis Patriots during the Caribbean Premier League - scoring 79 in one of the outings - and said this familiarity had helped during his innings.

"We couldn't have expected more from the batting unit", he said.

Asked what he thought when his captain threw the ball to him to bowl the final over, Bravo said, "With nine runs to go, I said we didn't have anything to lose".

"We never do things easy, but we held our nerve". India were set a target of 144 and would have been confident of winning the match. In the case of Sunday's game, the toss had taken place after which the decision to delay the start of the match was taken.

The west Indies batsman in first t20 shown the world why they are the world champion. "But we always had confidence in defending our total", he said.

"So in my opinion it was unsafe, and even if the run-ups were good and a guy hits a ball in the outfield in a fast-paced T20 game and he chases behind it and pulls something, that could be the end of a guy's career".
