India Maintain Third Spot In ODI Team Rankings After Series Sweep Of West Indies

India maintained their third position in the latest men's ODI Team Rankings following the 3-0 series whitewash of the West Indies in their own backyard. Despite missing a slew of first-choice players, the Shikhar Dhawan-led India showed they have plenty of depth waiting in the wings as they completed a sweep over the Caribbean side on Wednesday with an emphatic 119-run victory in the third and final match. The triumph was India's third ODI series victory on the trot and saw them boost their rating to a total of 110 and some four rating points clear of arch-rival Pakistan (106), who is in the fourth place.

No Neeraj Chopra But India Hope To Still Pack A Punch at CWG 2022

India's Commonwealth Games ambitions have been badly hit by the last-minute withdrawal of Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra but they still have high hopes of gold in several sports including boxing and badminton. The Commonwealth's most populous country is not generally known as a global sporting powerhouse -- except for cricket -- but it has regularly performed well at the Games. India came third in the medals table behind hosts Australia, and England, at the last edition of the Games at the Gold Coast in 2018, and were in the top five at the previous four.

"Got Bit Of Rohit Touch In Him": Shikhar Dhawan On Star India Batter After West Indies ODI Series Win

Right-handed batter Shubman Gill was at his best in the three-match ODI series against West Indies, scoring 205 runs, including an unbeaten 98 in the third and final ODI. For his performances, he was awarded the Player of the Series accolade. The third ODI was first curtailed to 40-overs-per-side, and then it was brought down to 35 overs due to rain, and hence Gill did not get a chance to complete his 100. After the 3-0 series win, India captain Shikhar Dhawan praised Gill, saying he has a bit of Rohit Sharma's touch in him.

Despite playing with a young side, the Shikhar Dhawan-led Indian cricket team dominated West Indies in a three-match ODI series and achieved a clean sweep. Performances from the likes of Shubman Gill, Yuzvendra Chahal, Mohammed Siraj really stood out as head coach Rahul Dravid looked a happy man after the series win. In the third ODI, Gill was unlucky to miss out on a maiden century but India rode on his sublime 98 to outclass West Indies by 119 runs (D/L method). In a rain-affected final ODI, India scored 225 for 3 in 36 overs, courtesy Gill's career-best knock and another half-century from skipper Shikhar Dhawan (58 off 74 balls).

Men's hockey team eyes medal after having returned empty-handed last timeBENGALURU: The script for the Indian men's hockey at the Commonwealth Games hasn't panned out the way they would have wished for. Since the introduction of the sport at the quadrennial event in 1998, Australia have won gold on all six occasions. India came close twice - in 2010 and 2014 - before being outplayed by the team from Down Under. This edition of the event beginning in Birmingham on Friday was not on the priority list until the Asian Games were postponed by a year. With a full squad and an eye on bettering their performance in the competition, Manpreet Singh and Co landed in Birmingham earlier this week. Having lost to England 1-2 in the bronze medal playoff and returned empty-handed in 2018, India are keen to make amends.
