India won the ODI series against West Indies by (3-0), Shubman Gill hero of the match: Openers Shubman Gill and Shikhar Dhawan’s scintillating batting and half-centuries helped India register a 3-0 series win over West Indies by 119 runs in a rain-hit match at Port of Spain. India’s innings on the third day of the ODI series was significantly delayed, after a turbulent break in the weather forced the visitors to hit late, with the match initially reduced to 40 overs per side.
Another rain delay at the end of the 36th over already completed India’s innings, with the visitors posting a decent total of 225/3 from their allotted overs. Opener Shubman Gill hit a career-best 98* while stand-in skipper Shikhar Dhawan (58) hit his second half-century for the series.
It goes to show that India is compiling some good depth in their white-ball squads, with Shreyas Iyer, Axar Patel, Shardul Thakur, and Yuzvendra Chahal also showing good signs during the three-match series.
Professional pacer Mohammed Siraj chipped in with two wickets early in West Indies’ run chase on Wednesday, while Chahal finished the job by picking up four scalps of his own during an impressive spell.
