As the India vs West Indies ODI series star, both Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will have their sights set on an all-time record in the 50-over format.

Going by the form Kohli has been in the 50-over format and the proficiency Rohit Sharma has shown in the Test series against Windies, the Hitman would also be eager to continue his hot form.
After dominating the proceedings in the two-match Test series, Team India are once again favourites going into the three-match ODI series, starting later on Thursday.

"Mohd. Siraj has been released from Team India's ODI squad ahead of the three-match series against the West Indies," a BCCI media release read.
