Rohit Sharma Eyes Place In Captains' Elite List With Win vs West Indies In 3rd ODI

Rohit Sharma-led India will look to complete a whitewash over West Indies when the two sides face off in the third and final ODI of the ongoing series in Ahmedabad on Friday. India lead the series 2-0, having notched victories in the first two matches. While India defeated West Indies by six wickets in the opening ODI on Sunday, the home side won again in the second ODI three days later by 44 runs. India now have the chance to register their first whitewash win in an ODI series since 2017, when the team claimed a clean sweep over Sri Lanka in a five-match series. India also haven't claimed a whitewash series win at home since 2014, when they beat Sri Lanka in a five-match series.
