"Who Are We?" Asks Shikhar Dhawan In Post WI Series Win Celebration. "Champions," Replies Team India - Watch
Despite playing with a young side, the Shikhar Dhawan-led Indian cricket team dominated West Indies in a three-match ODI series and achieved a clean sweep. Performances from the likes of Shubman Gill, Yuzvendra Chahal, Mohammed Siraj really stood out as head coach Rahul Dravid looked a happy man after the series win. In the third ODI, Gill was unlucky to miss out on a maiden century but India rode on his sublime 98 to outclass West Indies by 119 runs (D/L method). In a rain-affected final ODI, India scored 225 for 3 in 36 overs, courtesy Gill's career-best knock and another half-century from skipper Shikhar Dhawan (58 off 74 balls).
The revised DLS target of 257 from 35 overs was a tricky one and Mohammed Siraj's (2/14 in 3 overs) near-perfect first over with the new ball set the tone as West Indies could finally manage only 137 in 26 overs.
After the win, the Indian dressing room looked a happy space as the team got together to commemorate the win. "It was young team. A lot of the guys who played in England were not playing. But the way you guys responded, there were a couple of high pressure games and we got on the right side of those. Great signs. Well done Shikhar, very well led skip," Rahul Dravid, India head coach, said in a video posted on BCCI social media accounts.
Then, Shikhar Dhawan also lauded the effort and at the end, led a fun celebration. "When I say 'who are we?' you will all say champions," he said. The whole squad then broke into laughter.
