Lucky to get away with a tie:

India skipper Virat Kohli on Tuesday said his team was lucky to get away with a tie in the high-scoring second onedayer against West Indies here on Wednesday.

Batting first, India posted a challenging 321-6, riding on Kohli's record-breaking unbeaten 157.

Chasing the target, West Indies needed 14 off six balls to win but the visitors ended scoring 321 for 7 after Shai Hope (123) hit a boundary in the last ball off Umesh Yadav.

"It was a great game of cricket. Credit to the Windies, they showed great fight. Specially in the second innings, after they were three down, Hetmyer and Hope stuck it out. They took on us and didn't give us any chance whatsoever," said Kohli, who was adjudged Man of the Match for his 129ball 157-run unbeaten innings, reports PTI.

"The pitch was drastically different in the second innings. We were looking at 275-280 only, but I got going and we got those extra runs. We had a challenge in front of us today and luckily we got away with a tie and we'll take that at the end of the day."

West Indies skipper Jason Holder said his runout and the fall of Shimron Hetmyer were the turning points of the match.

West Indies looked good to overhaul the target as Shimron Hetmyer (94) and Shai Hope forged a 143-run partnership for the fourth wicket to lay the foundation of the chase.

Kohli said: "When the run rate fell under 6 I thought they had good chance but Kuldeep (Yadav) got a wicket, (Yuzvendra) Chahal bowled a brilliant over and Umesh (Yadav)and (Mohammed) Shami closed it out.

"The game nicely drifted in the last 7 overs and one
