Skipper Yuvraj Singh struck a brutal 123 off 89-balls (8 fours, 7 sixes) to lead India A to a thumping 77-run victory over West Indies A in the first of the three-match unofficial ODI series in Bangalore on Sunday. Batting first, India scored 312-4 in the reduced 42-over match and bowled out the visitors for 235 in 39.1 overs.

Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja continues to jointly top the bowlers' list with West Indian spinner Sunil Narine, while Virat Kohli is the highest-ranked Indian batsman at fourth in the latest ICC ODI rankings issued Tuesday. However, Jadeja slipped to fourth in the all-rounder's list. Skipper MS Dhoni is unchanged at seventh in batsmen's list followed by Suresh Raina at 16th.

Scoring a six at the 36th delivery, New Zealand's Corey Anderson hit the fastest ODI century on Wednesday against the West Indies. The New Zealander broke Shahid Afridi's 37 ball record that was made against Sri Lanka in Nairobi on Oct-10, 1996. Anderson achieved the feat with the help of 12 sixes and 4 fours.
