Shikhar Dhawan Said THIS After India’s ODI Series Win Over WI

The Shikhar Dhawan led Indian cricket team managed to seal the three-match ODI series against West Indies after a convincing win in the final ODI. The Men in Blue recorded a whitewash against the Caribbean outfit by winning the rain-affected match with a margin of 119 runs as per the DLS method.

India relied on Shubman Gill and Shikhar Dhawan to get the visitors to a good start. The Men in Blue skipper helped himself to 58 runs before being undone by Hayden Walsh. Gill, who has been exceptional throughout the series ended up with an unbeaten run-a-ball 98. The young opener missed out on his maiden ODI hundred as the weather played spoilsport, ending India’s innings early in the 36th over.

West Indies failed to get off to a good start during their run-chase which saw them aim to score 257 runs in 35 overs.  Mohammed Siraj got rid of Kyle Mayers and Shamarh Brooks in his very first over to set the tone for the Men in Blue India.
