India vs West Indies , 3rd ODI at PCA International Cricket Stadium, Ground A, New Chandigarh , WI in IND, 3 ODIs, 2026 , Oct 03, 2026 Scorecard

49.6: Keemo Paul to KL Rahul, Another brace and that takes India past 350 on the final ball of the innings. 22 runs off the final over as the Men in Blue finish on 351/7. Slips it in full, keeping it away from the batter's arc. Rahul gets low and drags it wide of deep mid-wicket. They take the first run hard and come charging back for the second before the throw arrives.

49.5: Keemo Paul to KL Rahul, Two runs saved! Keemo stays full and wide on off. KL anticipates the line and walks across. He brings out the reverse and spoons it over the man at short third. The fielder at deep backward point is fine, and he sprints to his left, sticking out the left boot to prevent the boundary.

49.4: Keemo Paul to KL Rahul, FOUR! The boundaries keep coming. Paul tries to keep it around the tramline, on a length. Rahul collapses his back knee and throws his hands at the ball. It flies behind off a thickish outside edge over the head of the short third fielder for a four. 18 runs off the over with two balls to go.

49.3: Keemo Paul to KL Rahul, SIX! And again! Another full toss but this is higher, around the waist. An awkward height to pick it up but Rahul presses back and swivels to dispatch it over mid-wicket for another six. The 50-run stand comes up in just 25 balls.

49.2: Keemo Paul to KL Rahul, SIX! Punished! Paul gets the yorker wrong as it is a low full toss, on off and middle. KL needs no second invitation as he clobbers it over wide long on for a flat six. Rahul moves to 115, and this is now his highest ODI score, going past his previous best of an unbeaten 112 against New Zealand in Rajkot earlier this year.

49.2: Keemo Paul to KL Rahul, Wide! Paul tries the wide yorker but he sprays it beyond the tramline. Rahul flashes but can only connect with thin air.

49.1: Keemo Paul to Gurnoor Brar, From around the wicket, on a good length, on middle. Brar has a swipe across the line. Ekes out an inside edge onto the pads. The batters cross over for a single as the ball drops on the off side.

48.6: Jayden Seales to KL Rahul, Spears in a yorker, on middle. KL hurriedly gets his bat down and jams it out on the deck. Rahul can't retain the strike. 17 runs off the 49th over.

48.5: Jayden Seales to KL Rahul, SIX! Launched down the ground. Yorker gone wrong for Seales and he is made to pay for it. It tails back in the slot for Rahul, who puts his head down and swings through the line, tonking it towards the sight screen for another maximum.

48.5: Jayden Seales to KL Rahul, Wide! Down leg, Rahul fails to help it away. 

48.4: Jayden Seales to KL Rahul, SIX! That goes all the way, and it takes KL Rahul to his 9th ODI HUNDRED. India's man for all seasons comes through when called upon. A little too straight, on a back of a length with fine leg up inside the circle. Rahul leans inside the line and gets low to get under the ball and shovels it behind square leg for half a dozen. A superb innings built on composure, control and class, capped off with a century. Another reminder of just how valuable a player Rahul is for India.

48.3: Jayden Seales to Gurnoor Brar, Nasty ball. From around the wicket, a sharp bumper at the right shoulder. Brar gets his hands high and fends it awkwardly. The ball catches the shoulder of the blade and goes behind square leg for a single.

48.2: Jayden Seales to KL Rahul, On a length, on middle. Rahul knocks it to long on and takes a single.

48.1: Jayden Seales to KL Rahul, Leg-cutter by Seales, on a back of a length, on off. Rahul makes room for himself and tries to go inside out over cover but he loses his shape. One hand comes off the bat handle as he slices it over cover for a couple of runs. The throw from the deep is wayward, smack bang in the middle of the pitch and it rolls down to deep square leg but KL is happy with two.

47.6: Alzarri Joseph to KL Rahul, Back to nailing the yorker is Joseph, on leg. KL digs it out on the leg side and retains the strike with a single. Rahul shares a quick fist bump with Joseph after reaching the other end.

47.5: Alzarri Joseph to KL Rahul, SIX! Up, up and away! Joseph misses his mark as he goes searching for the yorker. It is right in the slot, on midde. Rahul clears the front leg and gets under the ball, clubbing it way over deep mid-wicket for a biggie. KL moves to 93.

47.4: Alzarri Joseph to Gurnoor Brar, On a hard length, on off. Brar hops to ride the bounce and drops it beside the strip on the off side. The batters sneak in a quick single, which puts KL back on strike.

47.3: Alzarri Joseph to KL Rahul, Very full, not allowing the batter to get under the ball. Rahul hangs deep in the crease and shanks it off the inner half to long on. Just a single.

47.2: Alzarri Joseph to KL Rahul, Right in the blockhole, on middle. There is nothing KL can do about it as he jams it out.

47.1: Alzarri Joseph to KL Rahul, Untidy in the field. Joseph slips in a full ball, on middle and leg. Rahul puts his head down and swings at the ball. Mishits it off the inner half towards wide long on. Matthew Forde sprints to his right but overruns the ball. He does manage to stop the ball from going past him by sticking out his left hand but cannot prevent the second run from being taken. Joseph is not happy one bit.
