Hooper had a successful record against India in the past. But as a captain, he with Chanderpaula and Sarwan ridiculed the presence of Fab four of Indian Cricket outplaying them and winning the series 2-1. Dillon stood apart as the best bowler of the series that saw only batsmen scoring runs. Chanderpaul became the only player to be awarded Player of the Series twice in India-West Indies bilateral series.
