After claiming the three-match ODI series by a 2-1 margin, the Indian cricket team is set for a five-match duel against West Indies in the shortest format. India have dominated the proceedings versus the Windies, having won 17 of the 25 matches (L7 NR1). Notably, India have won eight of the last 10 meetings between the two teams. Hardik Pandya is set to lead India, who have plenty of fresh faces in the squad with an eye for the future. On the other hand, West Indies aren’t short of firepower, boasting several household names to light up the series. WI will look up to Nicholas Pooran and Shimron Hetmyer for the fireworks in batting. India will look up to the supremacy of Suryakumar Yadav, who is ranked number one in the world. Ahead of a gruelling series, we look at the major records on offer.
