Kohli was hit on his thumb by a Kemar Roach bouncer in the 27th over of India's run chase. He looked to be in pain, but continued batting after being attended by a physio.

"I don't think it's a fracture otherwise I wouldn't have continued (batting). It's just a split of the nail," Kohli said.
"Luckily, it's not broken. When I got hit I thought it was worse than what it turned out to be. But it's not broken so I should be good for the first Test", he added.
Kohli slammed 114 off 99 balls to mark his 43rd ODI century and second of the series. India won the series 2-0.
West Indies and India will next face each other in the two-match Test series from August 22. It is going to be part of the World Test Championship.
