India will face West Indies without the big names, Dhawan got opportunity to lead the team

India recently won the limited-over series against England on English soil and they now will play 3-match ODI series beginning from 22nd July in Port of Spain followed by the 5-match T20Is against West Indies. In this series, Dhawan will lead India as many of the big names are rested.

India did extremely well in England and are likely to dominate West Indies because West Indies is struggling. Since the beginning of 2021, they have managed to win only 8 matches out of 24 they played. Their performance in last series against Bangladesh was really poor especially in batting, where they were unable to score even 200 in 3 matches.

The last time, when West Indies India in bilateral series was in 2006 and India have won 11 series since. West Indies have mannaged to win only 2 out of 12 ODI series they played at home since March 2017.

West Indies leader, Nicholas Pooran and his deputy, Shai Hope have to perform better to beat India. Ravindra Jadeja is unlikely to play the first ODI because of a knee injury. Ishan Kishan and many other young players will have chance to prove themselves and make their position team.
