The indian team has created a great record by winning the 3rd ODI against the West Indies. In this match between the two teams, the indian team won by a margin of 119 runs. In this match, which was shortened to 36 overs due to rain, the indian team, who batted first, accumulated 225/3 runs. indian opener shikhar dhawan scored 58 runs off 74 balls. Shubman Gill, another opener, scored 98 runs to lead the team to victory. As for the middle order, suryakumar yadav was out for 8 runs and shreyas iyer scored 44 runs.
Chasing a tough target, the west indies team was unable to cope with the indian bowling and got out in succession. In that team, 4 players got out of the duck out and 3 got out in single-digit runs. Captain Nicholas Pooran (42) - brandon king (42) struggled to set up runs but could not save the team. In the end, the team scored only 137 runs in all 26 overs.
In this case, the indian team has made a great achievement with this whitewash. The indian team has been playing 50-over cricket matches against the west indies since 1983. In these 39 years of whitewashing on indian soil, india has never once whitewashed west indies soil. For the first time, it has now received that honor.
This is the 13th whitewash of the indian team in the history of ODI cricket. A 5th whitewash especially on foreign soil. Before this, virat kohli (2013), Rahane (2015), and dhoni (2016) have done a whitewash in zimbabwe and once in sri lanka under the leadership of virat kohli (2017).At the beginning of this year, india had a wide wash by keeping the west indies team at home. Now in the same year, they have fallen into the soil. With this, india became the 3rd team to achieve 2 whitewashes against one team in the same year. Earlier, zimbabwe played against bangladesh and bangladesh played against Kenya.
