India will become the first team to play the 1000th ODI when the side meets West Indies on Sunday in the first match of the series. "India playing the 1000th ODI is a huge milestone.

India were whitewashed 0-3 in the ODI series in South Africa and Rohit's return will be a welcome boost to the team.
