West Indies wicketkeeper-batter Nicholas Pooran was picked up by SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) for Rs 10.75 crore in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) mega auction. For Pooran, interest was shown by SRH and Kolkata Knight Riders, and in the end, the left-handed batter went to SunRisers. Earlier, Wriddhiman Saha and Sam Billings went unsold in the auction while Ishan Kishan was picked up by Mumbai Indians for Rs 15.25 crore.

West Indies stand-in skipper Nicholas Pooran expressed disappointment after his side got thrashed by India by 96 runs in the third and final ODI here at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Friday. With this win, India have got a clean sweep in the series with a 3-0 lead after clinching victory in the first two matches. "Must say congratulations to India. The way we bowled in the series was wonderful. Have a lot of work today in 50 overs. The way the guys bowled in the last two games was fantastic. Have a lot of work to put in in the longer formats," said Pooran after the game.

IND vs WI 2022, 3rd ODI, Live Score:With the series already in the bag, India will aim to register a clean sweep as they face West Indies in the third and final ODI at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Friday.

Virat Kohli achieved a huge milestone on Wednesday during India's 44-run series-clinching win over West Indies in the 2nd ODI in Ahmedabad, joining the likes of Sachin Tendulkar and MS Dhoni in an elite list. Kohli's latest milestone is that of playing 100 ODI matches at home. The former India skipper reached the landmark figure while representing the team against West Indies in Wednesday's second ODI. Kohli was dismissed for 18 and India posted 237/9 before bowling West Indies out for 193 to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match ODI series.
Rohit Sharma the batter faced a rare failure but Rohit Sharma the captain was at his best in the second ODI against West Indies at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Wednesday. Rohit's attacking field placements, his proactive bowling changes, especially the move to bring back pacers Prasidh Krishna and Shardul Thakur when West Indies stand-in captain Nicholas Pooran was just looking to cut loose against the spinners, paid rich dividends for India in the second ODI, which they won by 44 runs to seal the three-match series 2-0. But there was another side of Rohit's captaincy, which is not often seen, that was visible on the field during the second match. Rohit did not seem too pleased with Yuzvendra Chahal when Washington Sundar was on his mark to start the 45th over of West Indies' chase.
West Indies stand-in skipper Nicholas Pooran expressed disappointment after his side was defeated by India in the second ODI of the three-match series at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Wednesday. Prasidh Krishna's four-wicket haul helped India defend 237 and defeat West Indies by 44 runs in the second ODI. "With the bat, we didn't build partnerships. We kept losing wickets at regular intervals. In the 39th over, we lost Fabian first and then Hosein in the very next. We need to continue to be aggressive. Pollard is a tough and big guy and should be back. Smith is a strong guy. He is a little inexperienced but sky is the limit for him. We did a good job with the ball and hopefully we can do the same in the final game. And also do better with the bat," Pooran said after the game.
