Shikhar Dhawan becomes first batsman to score 5 ODI tons in 2013 as he powers India to series win over West Indies

As India wrapped up the series against West Indies 2-1 after a win on Wednesday in the third ODI, opener Shikhar Dhawan claimed two records this year by becoming the first batsman to score five ODI 100s this year as well as become the first player from any side to slam 20 fours in ODIs in 2013.

With the Indian team scheduled to tour South Africa in December, the form of the likes of Dhawan, Yuvraj Singh who slammed a well-made 50 in the match today as well as Rohit Sharma who has played well in this series is a positive for captain MS Dhoni.

Dhoni, himself has been very handy with his captaincy as well as his batting performance and will look forward to the challenge in the 'Rainbow nation' that lies ahead.

West Indies will take a positive from the ODI series after they managed to win the second ODI but lacked punch in the other matches as well as the Test series where they were hammered 2-0 in both matches failing to go more than 4 days.

Since he made a comeback to the Indian team, Dhawan has been on song with his dominant batting performances and being the owner of batting records in 2013 is a great feat for the 27-year-old.
