The much-hyped two-match Test series between India and West Indies, which marked Indian batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar's 200th and final Test match, has come to an end with India giving a memorable farewell to the Little Master with a 2-0 whitewash. Now, they are all set to enter a different format of the game.
A total of three ODIs will be played at Kochi, Visakhapatnam and Kanpur. India will enter the contest as the favourites following the series win against Australia and the two-match Test series against West Indies in the ongoing schedule but the visitors are expected to bounce back and surprise the hosts. They have batsmen like Chris Gayle who can turn the course of a game completely with his batting prowess. The performance of the batsmen will make all the difference in the series.
Squads:
India: Mahendra Singh Dhoni (captain), Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammed Shami, Ambati Rayudu, Amit Mishra, Jaydev Unadkat, Dhawal Kulkarni, Mohit Sharma.
