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. The Windies, on the other hand, will look to salvage some pride and build some momentum, ahead of the start of three-match T20I series next week.
Rohit Sharma's era as India's full-time white-ball captain couldn't have started any better as the team defeated West Indies in the second ODI at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, taking an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series. Former Pakistan skipper Salman Butt shared his views on Rohit's captaincy in the second ODI, saying that the 34-year-old was "on top his game as a captain". From setting the right field to making timely bowling changes, Rohit executed everything to perfection, feels Butt.
Rohit Sharma-led India will look to complete a whitewash over West Indies when the two sides face off in the third and final ODI of the ongoing series in Ahmedabad on Friday. India lead the series 2-0, having notched victories in the first two matches. While India defeated West Indies by six wickets in the opening ODI on Sunday, the home side won again in the second ODI three days later by 44 runs. India now have the chance to register their first whitewash win in an ODI series since 2017, when the team claimed a clean sweep over Sri Lanka in a five-match series. India also haven't claimed a whitewash series win at home since 2014, when they beat Sri Lanka in a five-match series.
The Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) on Thursday requested the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to allow spectators at Eden Gardens for the T20I series against West Indies. India and West Indies will lock horns in the T20I series at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata from February 16. "The matter relating to the hosting of the three T20 international matches between India and West Indies were discussed threadbare," CAB said in a statement.
India batter Ruturaj Gaikwad, who had tested positive for COVID-19, has recovered and is out out of isolation. However, with skipper Rohit Sharma already making it clear that senior opener Shikhar Dhawan will open the innings in the third ODI against West Indies here on Friday, the Maharashtra player is unlikely to be considered for the inconsequential match. Ruturaj warmed the bench in the home T20 series against New Zealand and also did not get an opportunity to play against South Africa in the away ODI series. He was found to be COVID positive just four days before the start of the West Indies series, practically ruling him out of the rubber.
Having taken a unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series, India will now aim to register a clean sweep over the West Indies when both teams face off in the third and final ODI at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Friday. India won the first ODI comprehensively, before the Windies put on a strong fight in the second ODI on Wednesday. With the series in the bag, India could make a few changes to their playing XI and test their bench strength ahead of the T20I series in Kolkata. Shikhar Dhawan is likely to return, having recovered from Covid.
Cricketer Dinesh Karthik lauded Team India captain Rohit Sharma for some of his decisions that proved key in India's 44-run series-clinching win over West Indies in Ahmedabad on Wednesday. After posting 237/9, India bowled out West Indies for 193, to seal victory and take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match ODI series. While Prasidh Krishna was the pick of the Indian bowlers with impressive figures of 4/12, Deepak Hooda and Washington Sundar also played key roles by bagging a wicket each at crucial junctures during the game. Hooda removed the well-set Shamarh Brooks while Sundar bagged the wicket of Odean Smith to end Windies' resistance.
The Indian cricket team sealed yet another bilateral series win after defeating West Indies in the second ODI by 44 runs, despite posting a below par total of 237/9. Fast bowler Prasidh Krishna was the star of the show, picking up 4 wickets, while the others supported him as the 'Men in Blue' scripted a solid victory. Captain Rohit Sharma's exemplary leadership skills were also on display during the match as he rang in the right bowling changes to help the team defend a low total. With the series in the bag India are expected to make some changes to their playing XI as they look to try different options for next year's ICC World Cup.
