India vs West Indies 3rd ODI: Rohit Sharma & Co. aim for clean sweep against West Indies
With the IPL auctions slated for the weekend in Bangalore, many top players in both teams are likely to be more focused on that than a game which has little context. While much is known about the Indian players, the match offers one final chance for many West Indies players, about whom the franchises would know little, to draw their attention at the last minute. One of those is certainly seam bowling allrounder Odean Smith. The 25-year-old took the wickets of Rishabh Pant and Virat Kohli and then, batting too low down the order at No. 9, hammered a 20-ball 24 in the second ODI. Meanwhile, in another boost for India, opener Shikhar Dhawan is set to return to add some much-needed firepower to their top order. Even though his spot has been under the scanner — with many pointing out that Dhawan will be 37 by the time of the 2023 ODI World Cup — the opener seems to have the confidence of skipper Rohit Sharma.
