In 2006 at Basseterre, the West Indies witnessed a batting masterpiece that blended elegance, determination, and match-winning class. Ramnaresh Sarwan, celebrating his 100th ODI, rose to the occasion with a sublime unbeaten 115* against India—a knock that not only secured victory but also reminded the cricketing world of the Caribbean’s enduring brilliance.<br /><br />Chasing 246, the West Indies were in need of stability and inspiration. Sarwan provided both, crafting an innings that began with dazzling strokeplay—crashing off-drives, crisp cuts, and an unforgettable cover-drive off Irfan Pathan—and ended with calm, calculated precision as the target neared.<br /><br />Partnering with a courageous, injured Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Sarwan built a decisive 106-run stand that broke the Indian challenge and steered the Windies to a thrilling four-wicket win, giving them a 2-1 lead in the series.<br /><br />This was more than just runs on the board—it was a cricketing statement. A century made in Guyana’s spirit, delivered on Caribbean soil, and cherished across the cricket world. Watch every glorious moment of Sarwan’s unbeaten 115* and relive the day West Indies roared again.<br /><br />đź“Ś Match: West Indies vs India – ODI Series, 2006<br />đź“Ś Venue: Basseterre, St. Kitts<br />đź“Ś Highlight: Ramnaresh Sarwan’s unbeaten 115 in his 100th ODI<br />đź“Ś Result: West Indies won by 4 wickets<br /><br />🏷 Hashtags:<br />#SarwanCentury #RamnareshSarwan #WIvsIND #WestIndiesCricket #CricketClassics #Sarwan115 #Basseterre #ODICricket #MatchWinningKnock #CricketLegends #WindiesPride #CaribbeanCricket #SarwanMasterclass #100thODI #SarwanVsIndia
