India twice rallied while the West Indies imploded on a bouncy Narendra Modi Stadium pitch on Friday to hand the hosts their first-ever ODI series whitewash over the Caribbeans at home. After opting to bat, India suffered two mini collapses but managed to post their highest total—265 all out in 50 overs—of the three-match ODI series.
Rohit Sharma (13), Virat Kohli (0) and Shikhar Dhawan (10) were back in the pavilion for 42 at end of the 10th over. Then, within the space of 44 balls, Rishabh Pant (56, 54 balls, 6x4, 1x6), Suryakumar Yadav (6, 7 balls, 1x4) and Shreyas Iyer (80, 111 balls, 9x4) fell adding only 35 runs. They rebuilt their innings calmly to come out of the crisis.
