Hooda and Sanju Samson ate up balls. In the end, it was Axar Patel who broke the shackles and India managed to cross 300 mark, eventually setting up 309 run target to Windies.
West Indies skipper Nicholas Pooran won the toss and elected to bowl against India in the series opener at Queen’s Park Oval, Port of Spain, Trinidad. India picked Shubman Gill over Ruturaj Gaikwad as Shikhar Dhawan’s opening partner, while Sanju Samson got a nod over Ishan Kishan to keep the gloves. Vice-captain Ravindra Jadeja has been ruled out of the first two ODIs after sustaining a knee injury.
In the absence of several experienced players, Shikhar Dhawan will lead a young Indian team in the ODI series against a struggling Windies side who recently lost the three-match series to Bangladesh.
The Men in Blue are high on confidence after an impressive show in white-ball matches against England. However, they will miss the services of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah in the ODI series against the Windies.
It will be a good opportunity for young players like Shubman Gill, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Deepak Hooda and Arshdeep Singh to showcase their talent on the big stage in the absence of star players.
While, on the other side, West Indies are going through a transitional phase after the retirement of Kieron Pollard. It will be a big series for Nicholas Pooran and Co. to make a statement in the cricketing world.
