Shikhar Dhawan will add more firepower to a ruthless India, who are faced with the problem of plenty, as they eye a clean sweep of West Indies in an inconsequential third ODI here on Friday. Hosts India head into the final match of the series after having ticked almost all the boxes in the first two games, which they won comfortably.

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.
