8.35 pm That's a massive score by India and their captain has provided more than half of it himself. Rohit Sharma, not out on 111, four T20I centuries, the most by any batsman in international cricket. He had to weather some good fast bowling by West Indies at the start, but from the moment he broke the shackles with a six off the first ball of spin he faced, he looked unstoppable. West Indies will not lose heart, even considering the 80m boundaries in Lucknow. They can clear them and they'll be backing themselves to pull this target down and level the series. Join us for the chase in 15 minutes
"We started very well. The wicket was different than the last match. Was a true wicket," Shikhar Dhawan says. "They were good for the first few overs, but we got off after the fourth over and Rohit played a brilliant knock. [Battling Oshane Thomas] I knew that I was playing well, I didn't change anything. This time I just didn't inside edge the ball. That was the different thing. Pitched played very nice, it's a beautiful stadium, I feel it's one of the most beautiful stadiums in the world actually. West Indies are a good side and we know that they'll come hard at us. We are ready for it. Hopefully we'll fight hard and be on the winning end"
Mayur Jain: "India-WI World T20 Semi-final @ Wankhede. India ended up with 192/2, when Rahane scored 40 off 35. Today India ended up with 195/2, when Dhawan scored 43 off 41. Is it going to be enough??"
vishal pawar: "I honestly feel, other batsmen need to play a bit cautiously in the beginning and then try to hit after settling in on this tricky pitch ignoring Rohit Sharma's master class. He is on different planet altogether. "
Vinay: "Seeing other batsmen struggle in the end overs and Rohit just carry on effortlessly, I have a new found respect for him now. "
