india vs west indies matches

<p>The India VS West Indies ODI series begins on Friday. The series has less relevance apart from the fact that it is a part of the ICC Super League. India will be playing a sub-string squad under the leadership of Shikhar Dhawan. The West Indies team has also seen the comeback of Jason Holder. All in all, the games might not have context but a contest will surely be on display. Here is an in-depth look at the same:</p>



<h2>India Preview Before India VS West Indies 1st ODI:</h2>



<p>The Indian team is coming on a high note. After losing the test match, the team made a good comeback and won the T20I and the ODI series against current ODI champions England. There were many positives for the team from that series. The middle-order and it?s batting were the biggest plus point. But there were also many loopholes. Shikhar Dhawan apart from the first game looked very uncomfortable. It may be because he has returned to the game after a very long time. The Indian team is also expecting a lot from Shreyas Iyer and Suryakumar Yadav.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/07/Shreyas-Iyer-min-1024x640.jpg" alt="India VS West Indies " class="wp-image-91896" /><figcaption>Iyer will be tested against the short ball. IMG SRC: The Indian Express</figcaption></figure>



<p>Shreyas Iyer will be tested with the bouncer by the tall West Indian pacers. Surya has to stay consistent as he has always been. Lastly, we talk about the bowling department. Yuzvendra Chahal is not featuring in the T20I squad as he is rested. He will be keen on making an impact in these 3 ODI games. Prasidh Krishna will be the senior on the team. Siraj will also be keen to test the Wes</p>



<h2>Indian ODI Squad:</h2>



<p>Shikhar Dhawan (C), Ruturaj Gaikwad, <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/ind-vs-aus-injury-scare-for-team-india-shubman-gill-a-doubt-for-the-1st-test-due-to-a-finger-injury/" title="Shubman Gill" class="auto-internal-link" data-auto-link="1" data-link-type="suggestion" data-rule-id="0">Shubman Gill</a>, Suryakumar Yadav, Shreyas Iyer, Deepak Hooda, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Ishan Kishan, Sanju Samson, Shardul Thakur, Yuzvendra Chahal, Avesh Khan, Prasidh Krishna, Mohammed Siraj, Arshdeep Singh</p>



<h2>Expected Playing XI:</h2>



<p>Shikhar Dhawan, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav, Sanju Samson, Deepak Hooda, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Yuzvendra Chahal.</p>



<h2>West Indies Preview Before India VS West Indies ODI Series:</h2>



<p>The West Indies team played their last ODI series against Bangladesh. The Bangla Tigers beat the West Indies 3-0. However, the West Indies will be very keen on hosting India. The Indian team is not having regular big names like Virat, Rohit, and Bumrah, and hence the competition on display will be great. Jason Holder is returning to the ODI setup. Shai Hope will be opening the batting for the Caribbean team.</p>



<h2>West Indies Squad:</h2>



<p>Nicholas Pooran (C), Shamarh Brooks, Brandon King, Rovman Powell, Kacy Carty, Kyle Mayers, Jason Holder, Gudakesh Motie, Keemo Paul, Shai Hope, Akeal Hosein, Alzarri Joseph, Jayden Seales</p>



<h2>Top Performer of India VS West Indies 1st ODI:</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/07/suryakumar-yadav-min-2-1024x576.jpg" alt="India VS West Indies SKY" class="wp-image-91895" /><figcaption>IMG SRC: The Indian Express</figcaption></figure>



<p>Suryakumar Yadav is the predicted top performer in the 1st ODI. Surya has been batting exceptionally well off-late in the 1st ODI against England he did not get a chance. In the second one, he did try to build an innings and in the third one, he was outright not in the zone. But a big performance in the ODI game is due from Surya. After scoring his maiden T20I 100, he will be looking to do something similar in the ODI format.</p>



<h2>Venue and Timings for India VS West Indies 1st ODI:</h2>



<p>The game will be played at the Queen?s Park Oval in Port of Spain in Trinidad. The game will be telecasted on the Fan Code App. DD Sports will also be broadcasting the games.</p>

<p>India vs West Indies: The ODI series between India and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Indies_cricket_team">West Indies</a> included all sorts of cricketing action which cricket fans majorly expect to witness. We got to see nail-biting finishes, close encounters and excellent bowling and batting performances from both sides.</p>



<p>Though the series seemed to be an evenly poised one at the beginning, it ended in India's favour which whitewashed a clueless West Indies side 3-0. India's victory over the Windies even though several important players were missing from the line up proves the fact as to how much progress the team's benched players have made in recent times so as to prove their worth on the big stages whenever they are given an opportunity to do so.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Given below are three talking points on India's famous win over West Indies in the ODI series.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>1. Shubman Gill is India's future gem</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/08/Shubman-Gill-compressed.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-92473" width="1043" height="655"/><figcaption><a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/has-indias-shubman-gill-manipulated-his-age-everyone-got-shocked-after-watching-a-viral-post-on-social-media-whats-the-truth/" title="Shubman Gill" class="auto-internal-link" data-auto-link="1" data-link-type="suggestion" data-rule-id="0">Shubman Gill</a></figcaption></figure>



<p><a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/a-true-captains-show-shubman-gill-agrees-to-lesser-pay-to-promote-building-a-core-team-for-the-gujarat-titans/" title="Shubman Gill" class="auto-internal-link" data-auto-link="1" data-link-type="suggestion" data-rule-id="0">Shubman Gill</a> who was asked to open the batting with skipper Shikhar Dhawan in the absence of Rohit Sharma grabbed hold of this opportunity with both his hands. The 22-year-old smashed a total of 208 runs, the most by any batsman in the three-match India vs West Indies ODI series including two half-centuries.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Gill was also awarded the man of the series award for his consistent performances throughout the series. The right-handed showed great approach and form with the bat as he provided India with lightning-fast starts in each of three matches.&nbsp;</p>



<p>His wonderful batting style besides his incredible attacking approach left the opposition in total disarray as he paved the path for India to win the series.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>2. Shikhar Dhawan is far from finished</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/08/Shikhar-Dhawan-compressed.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-92474" width="1041" height="653"/><figcaption>Shikhar Dhawan</figcaption></figure>



<p>Shikhar Dhawan who has been appointed as India's captain for the India vs West Indies ODI series didn't hesitate to prove his worth in the 50-over format. With him being dropped from the Tests and T20i teams, it seemed as if the left-handed would also lose his spot from the side in the One Dayers.&nbsp;</p>



<p>On the contrary, the 36-year-old proved his critics wrong by smashing a total of 168 runs in the three-match ODI series and confirmed the fact that he is indispensable in the ODIs despite getting older with time. His opening partnership with Rohit Sharma will definitely be a treat to watch in the ODI World Cup next year.</p>



<h2>3. Axar Patel is just too good to be benched</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/08/Axar-Patel-compressed.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-92475" width="1041" height="653"/><figcaption>Axar Patel</figcaption></figure>



<p>One of the biggest positives of the series for the India vs West Indies series will be the rise of Azar Patel. The left-hander delivered quality round skills and helped India clinch an incredible victory in the second ODI during a steep run chase.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The left-handed showed his heroics with the bat as he helped a collapsing Indian innings stabilize itself and reach a massive total of 312 in style. Axar scored his career-best score of 64 as India cruised to a famous win by 2 Wickets with just 2 balls to spare.&nbsp;</p>
