New Delhi: The Indian cricket team had taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series by defeating the West Indies by two runs in the second ODI at Port of Spain. Now, Team India will want to clear the decks of the West Indies team by winning the third ODI on July 27 (Wednesday). Anyway, if Shikhar Dhawan-led Team India wins the third ODI match, then they will set a big record.
In fact, if we look at the history, Team India has not been able to make a clean sweep of the West Indies in the ODI series on their own soil. In such a situation, as soon as they win the third ODI, they will make history. Before this tour, 9 ODI series have been played between India and the West Indies on Caribbean soil, in which West Indies won four series, while five series have been named after India. During this time, Team India's best performance was in 2017, when it won the five-match series 3-1. Team India first arrived in the West Indies in 1983 to play an ODI series. That is, for 39 years, the Indian team has failed to clean up the West Indies in the ODI series on their soil.

At the same time, by winning the current ODI series, India has retained the winning streak against the West Indies for 16 years. In fact, since 2006, Team India has not lost a single series against the West Indies, in 2006, the West Indies won the five-match series held at home 4-1. Since 2006, a total of 12 bilateral series have been played between the two teams, in which Team India has been unbeaten. During this time, India has toured the West Indies a total of five times, while the West Indies team has come to India seven times to play the ODI series. Now it remains to be seen whether India can make a clean sweep of the West Indies in their own home this time. Because, if that happens, it will be a big success for Team India under the captaincy of Shikhar Dhawan.
