Swashbuckling opener Virender Sehwag bludgeoned a world record 219 as India handed West Indies a 153-run drubbing to win their one-day international series.

Sehwag broke compatriot Sachin Tendulkar's ODI mark of 200 not out against South Africa at Gwalior last year to help register a team score of 418-5 in 50 overs, India's highest ever in one-dayers.

In reply, West Indies was all out for 265 in 49.2 overs, with a valiant run-a-ball 96 by Denesh Ramdin. Spinners Rahul Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja took three wickets apiece.

Sehwag accumulated an astounding 142 runs from boundaries, smashing 25 fours and seven sixes in 149 balls to help seal the five-game series 3-1. Sehwag's 15th ODI century was his first as captain and beat his previous best of 175 against Bangladesh at the 2011 World Cup.

The Delhi batsman enabled his team to better its previous best of 414-7 against Sri Lanka at Rajkot in 2009 and also register the joint-fourth highest ever in ODIs.
