India's stand-in captain Suresh Raina lauded Subramaniam Badrinath and Rohit Sharma for the team's 16-run win over the West Indies in the one-off Twenty20 international at the Queen's Park Oval on Saturday.

Twenty20 debutant Subramaniam Badrinath scored a stroke-filled 43 and Sharma made a 23-ball 26 to help India recover from 56 for four to a challenging 159 for six in 20 overs.

"We played well, the bowlers executed the plans very well. Badrinath and Rohit set it up for us," said Raina.

The new captain also praised the team for their outstanding fielding.

"This is the best fielding side we've had in the last four to five years. Our new coach Duncan Fletcher and Trevor Penny, the fielding coach, have helped us a lot," he said.
