India wrapped up the ODI series against West Indies by
winning the second match 2–0 to seal the series win. This is undoubtedly a
great result for the men in blue with some of the key players rested; that's
why a hard-fought series win in the Caribbean is special.
It is definitely a special feeling for Shikhar Dhawan and
all the players involved who can be seen celebrating in the video posted on
Dhawan's official Twitter account. Both games came down to a tight final, so it
was clear that the celebrations were as intense as they were.
As far as the match is concerned, India have found an
unlikely hero with the bat in the form of Axar Patel. An explosive knock of 64*
off 35 balls was what made the difference in the end.
Other Indian players who performed impressively in the match
were Shreyas Iyer and Sanju Samson who both scored half-centuries.
Meanwhile, on the home side, Shai Hope stole the accolades
with a first-class century in his 100th ODI match.
When the series is done and dusted, don't let the final game
fool you. The men in maroon are looking to end the series on a high and will be
looking to avenge two narrow defeats. India, on the other hand, wants to seal a
series of erosions on distant shores.
Only time will tell what happens in the final ODI starting
July 27.
