India vs West Indies
Virat Kohli 37 runs away from Tendulkar, Lara’s World Record
West Indies paceman Sheldon Cottrell has handed plenty of batsmen their marching orders at the Cricket World Cup and seen his unique celebration win an army of followers online.
A serving member of the Jamaica Defence Force, Cottrell's march and salute has been his trademark since bursting onto the international scene in 2013 and the distinct send-off has caught the imagination of fans at the World Cup.

The left-arm quick returned figures of 4-56 in his team's five-run loss to New Zealand on Saturday to take his tally for the tournament to nine.
"It's a military-style salute. I'm a soldier by profession. Me saluting is just to show my respect to the Jamaica Defence Force," Cottrell told the BBC.
Team India will look to maintain their unbeaten run in the World Cup 2019 as they gear up to face West Indies in their sixth game of the tournament in Manchester on Thursday.
As the league phase hits the home stretch, India will look to ensure a smooth passage into the semi-finals with yet another victory. The Men in Blue third in the points table with 9 points from five matches and need just one more victory to advance to the knockouts.
But it could be easier said than done against a West Indies side, which might play party poopers with nothing to lose in their remaining few games.
In fact, West Indies' unpredictability and the former India captain's repeated failure during the important second Powerplay overs leaves skipper Virat Kohli with a few points to ponder.

The West Indies, on the other hand, are a team filled with maverick cricketers and will look to cause an upset. They will also miss the services of all-rounder Andre Russell, who was ruled out of the tournament due to a hamstring injury.
Squads:
India:
Virat Kohli (captain), Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Vijay Shankar, Hardik Pandya, Mahendra Singh Dhoni (wk), Kedar Jadhav, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Ravindra Jadeja, Dinesh Karthik, Rishabh Pant.
West Indies:
Jason Holder (captain), Chris Gayle, Shai Hope, Shimron Hetmyer, Carlos Brathwaite, Sheldon Cottrell, Oshane Thomas, Kemar Roach, Ashley Nurse, Nicholas Pooran, Sunil Ambris, Evin Lewis, Shannon Gabriel, Darren Bravo, Fabian Allen.
Batsmen
Rohit Sharma becomes the automatic choice for the first-choice opener with the Indian vice-captain having scored 320 runs in the five matches so far at an average of over 106 with two hundreds and a fifty.
Wicketkeeper
MS Dhoni was criticised for his poor strike rate in the game against Afghanistan but he is still the best wicketkeeper from either side for Thursday's game. Dhoni has the fastest hands in the business but has been struggling for form with the bat.

All-rounders
Hardik Pandya is an automatic choice for the all-rounder's slot as he has been in terrific form with both ball and bat for India. He has four wickets so far in the tournament and has broken partnerships with the ball at crucial junctures in the last two games. He also played important cameos against Australia and Pakistan with the bat.
Bowlers
Jasprit Bumrah walks into any ODI side with him being the top-ranked bowler in the format. He hasn't picked a lot of wickets till now but the ones that he has so far, have changed the complexion of the game in India's favour. Bumrah has 7 wickets from 4 games at 26.71 so far.
