ODI World Cup Qualifiers: Shai Hope, Nicholas Pooran fire West Indies to 101-run win over Nepal

<p>Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) have established an iron grip for a place in the playoff after they beat hosts Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) by seven wickets at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Saturday, May 13. Superb innings from Prerak Mankad (64) and Nicholas Pooran’s quickfire 44 saw LSG run out winners, which thereby ended SRH’s chances of making the playoffs.</p>

After De Kock’s departure, Marcus Stoinis (40) joined the party and continued the run chase. Both Mankad and Stoinis put together a third wicket partnership of 73 runs.</p>

<p>After, De Kock’s departure, it was the Nicholas Pooran show who wreaked 44 runs of 13 balls and laid the foundation for the win. Pooran’s innings consisted of 4 sixes and 3 fours and scored at a strike rate of 338. Mankad also continued his exploits and helped his team register a famous win to keep their hopes alive for a place in the playoff.</p>

<p>Glenn Phillips, Mayank Markande and Abhishek Sharma ended with one wicket each for SRH and were completely outplayed by the opposition.</p>

<h2><strong>What happened in SRH's batting innings?</strong></h2>

<p>With explosive knocks from Heinrich Klaasen and Abdul Samad helped Sunrisers Hyderabad post a challenging target of 183 against Lucknow Super Giants. Klaasen scored a brilliant 47 off 29 balls and Samad helped him with his 37 off 25 balls. Chose to bat, SRH started their batting slow and steady but their first wicket came early in the 2.1 over when Yudhvir Singh dismissed Abhishek Sharma at seven off five balls.</p>

<p>Krunal Pandya was the pick of the bowler for LSG as he took two wickets conceding 24 runs. Yudhvir Singh, Avesh Khan, Yash Thakur and Amit Mishra took one wicket each.</p>

<p>With a place in the playoff in hands, LSG will next take on five-time champions Mumbai Indians in Lucknow on Tuesday, May 16 while they will conclude the league season against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Eden Gardens on Saturday.

Pooran scored 62 off 19 balls, hitting four fours and seven sixes as LSG chased the target in 20 overs, highest ever in IPL 2023. Pooran came in to bat in the 11th over of the chase and smoked his second ball only to a huge six. He had replaced Marcus Stoinis who himself ran riot to score 65 off just 30 balls, hitting six fours and five sixes. Pooran's fifty was also the all-time joint second-fastest fifty in the IPL.

IPL 2023: Pooran's 19-ball 62 overpowers RCB's top-three as LSG chase down record 213

<p>West Indies batter Nicholas Pooran has decided to step down as the captain of the ODI and T20I teams, days after his team's debacle in the recently concluded T20 World Cup 2022. Two-time champions West Indies crashed out of the qualifiers after suffering shock defeats against Scotland and Ireland.</p>

<p>West Indies managed to get the better of Zimbabwe comfortably in the qualifiers but were stunned by Scotland and Ireland to finish at the bottom of their group as they failed to make it to the Super 12 stage for the first time in the history of the tournament.</p>

<p>Pooran, who was leading West Indies at the World Cup, failed to deliver with the bat on the personal front and faced criticism from all corners over his team's shambolic display. Announcing his resignation from captaincy on Monday, Pooran said it is the right decision and will give the team enough time to prepare for the next major ICC tournaments.</p>

<p>In a lengthy post on social media, Pooran called it a honour&nbsp;to be bestowed with West Indies' captaincy but insisted im stepping down is in the best interests of both parties. The left-hander said he will continue to be a leader in the dressing room and extend his support to the players in&nbsp;the team.</p>

IPL 2023 Retention: 2016 winners SRH release skipper Kane Williamson, Nicholas Pooran

<p>West Indies captain Nicholas Pooran was dejected after Ireland thrashed the two-time champions by nine wickets in the T20 World Cup 2022 on Friday. West Indies were knocked out from the qualifiers as Ireland booked their spot in the Super 12 stage of the competition after a brilliant all-round performance at the Bellerive Oval.</p>

<p>Once a giant in T20Is, two-time winners West Indies appeared a mere shadow of their former self in the ongoing tournament. With the likes of Andre Rusell, Shimron Hetmyer and Sunil Narine among others not in the squad, the Nicholas Pooran-led side succumbed under pressure against Ireland.</p>

<p>Batting first in the all-important encounter, West Indies' top-order flopped as opener Kyle Mayers (1) and Evin Lewis (3) were both dismissed cheaply. The likes of Pooran, Rovman Powell and Odean Smith too failed to make an impact as Brandon King's brilliant 62 off 48 balls helped them post 146/5 on the board in 20 overs.</p>

<p>In reply, Ireland chased down the target with 15 balls to spare riding on Paul Stirling's 66 off 48 balls and crucial knocks from skipper Andrew Balbirine (37) and Loran Tucker (45). West Indies's defeat meant they have failed to make it to the Super 12 stage for the first time in the history of the competition.</p>

<p>Reacting to his team's shocking defeat, West Indies skipper Pooran couldn't control his tears at the post-match presentation as he apologised to the fans back home for their disappointing show.</p>

<p>"It's tough,we haven't batted well in this tournament and didn't today either. Coming here and defending 145 was really difficult. Asking the bowlers to defend the total was really going to be a challenge. Congratulations to Ireland, I think they batted fantastically and bowled well," the West Indies captain said.</p>

<p>"There's a lot of positives Brandon King is batting well, Alzarri stepped up. But we are disappointed and have disappointed the fans back home. It is definitely hurting. I am definitely disappointed. We live to see another day," he added.</p>

It's definitely hurting: Nicholas Pooran after West Indies' shocking exit from T20 World Cup 2022

<p>After a defeat at the hands of Scotland, two-time winners West Indies faced Zimbabwe in their second game at the T20 World Cup (T20 WC) qualifiers at the&nbsp;Bellerive Oval, Hobart on Wednesday (October 19). In a must-win clash, WI pacers took centre stage with Alzarri Jospeh (4 for 16) and all-rounder Jason Holder (3 for 12) standing tall in their side's defence of 153-7.</p>

<p>Nicholas Pooran-led West Indies opted to bat first and got off to a measured start, following their flop show with the bat versus the Scotland side. Johnson Charles (43), Rovman Powell's 21-ball 28 and&nbsp;Akeal Hosein's 18-ball 23 not out took WI to a respectable total, 153 for 7, although they were certainly short of 15-20, at least, at the halfway stage. From Zimbabwe,&nbsp;Sikandar Raza (3 for 19) and Blessing Muzarabani (2 for 38) restricted the run-flow and curtailed Windies to a moderate score.</p>

<p>Given WI were in desperate need for a win to stay&nbsp;in touch with the rest of the teams in Group B, in the qualifiers, their pacers stood tall with Joseph removing the likes of&nbsp;Regis Chakabva and Tony Munyonga, Odean Smith dismissed in-form batter Raza whereas senior pro Holder also accounted for three key scalps.&nbsp;Luke Jongwe fought hard with an impressive 22-ball 29 but the damage was long done as early blows pushed the African side on the back foot.</p>

<p>With this result, Group B is evenly poised with all teams having two points each. WI will next face Ireland whereas Zimbabwe will lock horns with Scotland, with both the games on Friday (October 21).</p>

<p><strong>WHAT THEY SAID</strong></p>

<p>Joseph, at the post-match presentation, stated, "It is very encouraging but the job is not done. We have another game and have to win it to get to the main tournament. It is all about pulling it back for the team, trying to get an early wicket and if not keep it tight. It (the yorker) took a lot of work but it all depends on the batter and how they move in the crease, for me it is about keeping the ball close to the batter. With the new ball it (the conditions) was pretty good but it still was a good wicket for cricket. All in all happy with the performance and the team put in a big effort today."</p>

<p>On the other hand, skipper Pooran said, "How to explain this. We spoke yesterday and knew we had to do well as a batting group. Enough is enough. Had to take responsibility. Times like this we create our own luck. Akeal and Rovman put in that partnership at the end. Mayers is the one who can actually swing the ball. Unfortunately he didn't get it right. But we back him. We are learning together and that's what's important. He's the most experienced bowler we have here (Holder). Joseph, not only now, but since the beginning of the year. It's exciting times for WI cricket. They're young players. Things aren't happening for me. But everything happens for a reason."</p>

T20 WC: Alzarri Joseph stars in WI's win over Zimbabwe, two-time winners remain alive in competition

<p>After Namibia shocked Asia Cup champions Sri Lanka on a cracking opening day at the ongoing T20 World Cup 2022, Scotland pulled off another major upset as they stunned Nicholas Pooran-led West Indies in their opening game in the Group B of the qualifiers.</p>

<p>Bowlers ran riot to help Scotland thrash the two-time champions by 42 runs at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart on Monday (October 17). After captain&nbsp;George Munsey's brilliant knock of unbeaten 66 helped them post a fighting total of 160 runs on the board, their bowlers followed it up with a clinical performance to shock West Indies.</p>

<p>Scotland lost the toss and were asked to bat first in Hobart as the West Indies bowlers aimed to bundle out the minnow cheaply. However, captain Pooran's decision backfired for the Caribbeans&nbsp;as Scotland got off to a flyer with openers Munsey and Michael Jones adding 55 runs for the first wicket.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Despite his team losing wickets regularly on the other end, Munsey held firm on one end and propelled Scotland to a good total with 66 off 53 balls. The Scotland skipper's knock was laced with nine fours and turned out to be a crucial one for his team.</p>

<p>With the kind of firepower West Indies posess in their line-up, Pooran &amp; Co were expected to get over the line comfortably. However, Scotland bowlers had other plans as they ran riot against the West Indies batting line-up to bundle them out for 118 runs in 18.3 overs.</p>

After Namibia shocked Asia Cup champions Sri Lanka on a cracking opening day at the ongoing T20 World Cup 2022, Scotland pulled off another major upset as they stunned Nicholas Pooran-led West Indies in their opening game in the Group B of the qualifiers.

After Namibia shocked Asia Cup champions Sri Lanka on a cracking opening day at the ongoing T20 World Cup 2022, Scotland pulled off another major upset as they stunned Nicholas Pooran-led West Indies in their opening game in the Group B of the qualifiers. Bowlers ran riot to help Scotland thrash the two-time champions by 42 runs at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart on Monday (October 17). After captain George Munsey's brilliant knock of unbeaten 66 helped them post a fighting total of 160 runs on the board, their bowlers followed it up with a clinical performance to shock West Indies. Scotland lost the toss and were asked to bat first in Hobart as the West Indies bowlers aimed to bundle out the minnow cheaply. However, captain Pooran's decision backfired for the Caribbeans as Scotland got off to a flyer with openers Munsey and Michael Jones adding 55 runs for the first wicket. Despite his team losing wickets regularly on the other end, Munsey held firm on one end and propelled Scotland to a good total with 66 off 53 balls. The Scotland skipper's knock was laced with nine fours and turned out to be a crucial one for his team.

Bowlers run riot as Scotland stun two-time champions West Indies in T20 World Cup 2022

<p>Ahead of the T20 World Cup, Shimron&nbsp;Hetmyer has lost his place in the two-time winners West Indies squad for the marquee tournament in Australia. The power-hitter had asked Cricket West Indies (CWI) to reschedule his flight to Australia, due to personal reasons. While the board agreed and rescheduled his departure from October 1 to October 03, the swashbuckling left-hander could still not make it on time to board the flight and, hence, it led to his ouster from the main squad.</p>

<p>Hetmyer had informed CWI's Director of Cricket, Jimmy Adams, on Monday that he will not be able to reach the airport in time for his flight to New York. Hence, he got dropped with immediate effect as the CWI had already conveyed to him that any further delay, after October 03, would lead to him missing the marquee event Down Under. It is to be noted that Nicholas Pooran-led Windies will play the qualifiers, starting on October 16, before the main draw of the ICC event kicks off on October 22. He has been replaced by Shamarh Brooks, who has been rewarded for his strong performances in the latter stages of recently-concluded CPL 2022.</p>

<p><em>“This afternoon we informed the CWI Board of Directors that the Selection Panel had unanimously decided to replace Shimron Hetmyer with Shamarh Brooks in our T20 World Cup squad. Whilst we changed Shimron’s flight from Saturday to Monday due to family reasons, it was made clear to him that if there were any further delays and issues with his travel to Australia then we would have no choice but to replace him in the squad, as we are not prepared to compromise the team’s ability to prepare for this extremely important global event,"</em>&nbsp;CWI said in a release.</p>

The third match is set to be held on Tuesday (August 02) with no rest day in between.</p>

<p>Talking about the second T20I, India produced a dismal show with the bat after being asked to bat first. Riding on starts from Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja, India were 138 all-out in 19.4 overs before losing the contest in the last over as the Nicholas Pooran-led Windies chased down the moderate score with five wickets in hand.</p>

<p>Rohit Sharma-led Team India have been on a roll in white-ball formats. After dominating their home series versus West Indies and Sri Lanka early this year, India beat England in their own den in both T20Is and ODIs, whitewashed the Windies in three ODIs with a second-stringed team at their disposal and have started the ongoing five T20Is with a bang, winning the series opener by 68 runs.</p>

<p>Ahead of the second T20I, in St Kitts, Rohit &amp; Co. are on the verge of matching&nbsp;their arch-rivals Pakistan in a unique record.&nbsp;Another win over the hapless Windies&nbsp;in the T20I series will not only ensure the visitors a handy 2-0 lead, but Men in Blue will also be on level terms with traditional rivals Pakistan with most wins over the two-time champions in the shortest format.

<p>Rohit Sharma-led India thrashed Nicholas Pooran's West Indies in the first T20I of the five-match series in&nbsp; Trinidad on Friday (July 29). After Shikhar Dhawan &amp; Co. defeated the Windies 3-0 in the ODIs, one expected the hosts to perform much better in the shortest format; i.e. their most preferred format.</p>

<p>Nonetheless, the Rohit-Rahul Dravid-led Indian team continued their winning run in the format and beat hosts by 68 runs in the series opener. Being asked to bat first, Team India rode on Rohit's 44-ball 64 and Dinesh Karthik's match-winning 19-ball 44 as India posted a challenging 190/6 in 20 overs. In reply, West Indies batters failed to put up a show and while many of them got starts, none stayed till the end to give a tough fight.</p>

<p>Arshdeep Singh, R Ashwinn and Ravi Bishnoi were the star performers with the ball, returning with two wickets each. Now, the action moves to the second T20I. Will Windies level the series or will the visitors continue their winning streak on the tour?</p>

Rohit Sharma-led India thrashed Nicholas Pooran's West Indies in the first T20I of the five-match series in Trinidad on Friday (July 29). After Shikhar Dhawan & Co.

Rohit Sharma-led India thrashed Nicholas Pooran's West Indies in the first T20I of the five-match series in Trinidad on Friday (July 29). After Shikhar Dhawan & Co. defeated the Windies 3-0 in the ODIs, one expected the hosts to perform much better in the shortest format; i.e. their most preferred format. Nonetheless, the Rohit-Rahul Dravid-led Indian team continued their winning run in the format and beat hosts by 68 runs in the series opener. Being asked to bat first, Team India rode on Rohit's 44-ball 64 and Dinesh Karthik's match-winning 19-ball 44 as India posted a challenging 190/6 in 20 overs. In reply, West Indies batters failed to put up a show and while many of them got starts, none stayed till the end to give a tough fight. Arshdeep Singh, R Ashwinn and Ravi Bishnoi were the star performers with the ball, returning with two wickets each. Now, the action moves to the second T20I. Will Windies level the series or will the visitors continue their winning streak on the tour? Here is everything you need to know about the match - date, IST, streaming details, etc. When will the West Indies vs India 2nd T20I take place?

<p>India and West Indies will now shift focus to the T20Is as both sides meet each other in the five-match series opener on Friday (July 29) in Trinidad. After whitewashing the Windies in the three ODIs, India will now see the return of their regulars such as captain Rohit Sharma, Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya, etc. as they start as favourites versus the inconsistent Windies.</p>

<p>However, it isn't an unknown fact that the shortest form of the game is West Indies' most preferred format, comprising several power-hitters. Thus, they will like to move past their ODI struggles and give a tough fight to Men in Blue, who are coming into this series on the back of a 2-1 series win over hosts England, early this month.</p>

WI vs IND: When and where to watch West Indies vs India 1st T20I match - IST time and streaming details

<p>Top bowling spells from spinner Yuzvendra Chahal and pacers Mohammed Siraj and Shardul Thakur helped India crush West Indies by 119 runs in the rain-hit third and final ODI of the series here at Queen`s Park Oval on Thursday. India has completed a clean sweep of 3-0 over the hosts. India can walk away with a lot of positives after this match as their batting was great, lead from the front by openers Shikhar Dhawan (58) and Shubman Gill (98*).</p>

<p>Setting a target of 257 in 35 overs after the match was hit by rain, Windies batters never looked as if they were in the game as Indian bowlers feasted on them. The hosts fell prey to a world-class bowling attack with their careless shot selection. Chahal (4/17), Siraj (2/14) and Thakur (2/17) were extremely economic with the ball and delivered timely blows to their opponent.</p>

<p>Chasing 257, West Indies got off a nightmarish start, losing opener Kyle Mayers and Shamarh Brooks in the second over to pacer Mohammed Siraj. Following this, opener Shai Hope and Brandon King resumed the chase for the hosts. They both maintained solid running between the wickets. King was the aggressor during the partnership. Hope-King added 47 runs to their stand before the former was stumped by wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson for 22 off 33 balls on a delivery by spinner Yuzvendra Chahal. At the end of 10 overs, West Indies was 48/3, with King (24*) and Pooran (1*). Captain Nicholas Pooran was next up on crease. The 12th over was bowled by pacer Prasidh Krishna and it turned out to be expensive, with Pooran-King smashing four boundaries in it collectively. It was spinner Axar Patel who gave India their fourth wicket, removing King, who was looking threatening. He had scored 42 off 37 balls before he was trapped leg before wicket by the bowler.</p>

<p>Keacy Carty was next up on the crease. Pooran`s game became more attacking, smashing Deepak Hooda for a four and a six and Axar for a four as well. The duo took the hosts to the 100-run mark at end of 18 overs, with Pooran being the aggressor. Shardul Thakur broke the 29-run stand between the duo, bowling out Carty for just five runs off 17 balls. At this point, half of Windies line up was back in the hut at 103. Jason Holder was the next batter to arrive on the crease. The all-rounder was making his return to white-ball cricket after a while and had a task in hand to build a solid stand with his skipper. Prasidh finally got his first wicket of the day, dismissing the danger man Pooran for 42 off 32 balls after being caught by Dhawan at mid-on. Thakur gave another jolt to the hosts, sending back Akael Hosein for just one run after skipper Dhawan took another great catch.</p>

<p>There was not much batting left with the Windies except for Holder, who needed to pull off something really great to guide his team to a consolation win. Things continued to go downhill for Windies, with Paul dismissed for a duck by Chahal after he was caught by Thakur at point while attempting to reverse sweep. Holder was running out of partners at this point, now joined by Hayden Walsh. Walsh was the ninth wicket down at a score of 137 after being caught by Dhawan at slips. Jayden Seales was the last player dismissed, sent back to pavilion by Chahal. Windies were bundled out for 137. They had lost the match by 119 runs and India had completed a 3-0 clean sweep in the series. Chahal finished as the leading bowler for India with 4/17. Siraj and Thakur also took two wickets. Krishna and Axar got one scalp each.</p>

<p>Earlier, a 113-run stand between Shubman Gill and Shikhar Dhawan powered India to 225/3 in 36 overs during the rain-hit third and final ODI against West Indies here at Queens Park Oval on Wednesday. As per Duckworth-Lewis Method, West Indies were set a target of 257 runs in 35 overs. The innings face disruption due to rain. But despite this disruption, India managed to put up a solid total on the board. Dhawan (58) and Gill (98*) continued their fine batting form and Windies bowlers were not able to do much. Shreyas Iyer also contributed a fine 44.</p>

<p>Electing to bat first, India was cautious for the first ten overs, mostly rotating the strike and hitting big occasionally. This cautious approach bore fruit as openers Shikhar Dhawan and Shubman Gill were able to get through the mandatory powerplay with a score of 45/0, with the duo standing unbeaten at 22 each. After reaching their 50-run stand in 67 balls, the duo accelerated their run-making. Skipper Dhawan brought up his 37th fifty in ODIs. Dhawan-Gill brought up their 100-run stand in 118 balls.</p>

<p>Gill was also looking really classy with the bat at the other end and brought up his second ODI fifty, continuing his good run in the series. The 113-run stand between the duo was broken in 23rd over. It was spinner Hayden Walsh who gave Windies a breakthrough by dismissing Dhawan for 58 off 74 balls, with skipper Nicholas Pooran taking the catch at mid-wicket. Shreyas Iyer was next up on crease. Rain interrupted play at this point, with India at 115/1 in 24 overs, with Gill (51*) and Iyer (2*). The match resumed as a 40-over-a-side contest. After this, Gill-Iyer started showing more attacking intent with the willow, smashing boundaries and sixes.</p>

<p>The very first over after rain went for 18 runs. The duo raced to their 50-run partnership in just 30 balls. West Indies bowlers were shocked by the sudden change in gears and it was reflected in some sloppy fielding by them.</p>

<p>The duo kept the scoreboard moving and added 86 runs before Shreyas Iyer was dismissed for a solid 44 off 34 balls by spinner Akeal Hosein after being caught by Keemo Paul at long-on. Suryakumar Yadav was the next man on the crease for India. However, his poor run of scores continued as he was dismissed by Walsh after being caught for just eight runs at backward point by Shamarh Brooks.</p>

<p>Sanju Samson, the wicketkeeper-batter was next up on the crease. Gill-Samson carried on for a while before rain interrupted play once again. India`s innings came to an end at 225/3 in 36 overs due to rain, with Gill (98*) and Samson (6*) unbeaten.</p>

<p><strong>Brief Scores: India:</strong> 225/3 in 36 overs (Shubman Gill 98, Shikhar Dhawan 58, Hayden Walsh 2/57) win against <strong>West Indies</strong>: 137 in 26 overs (Brandon King 42, Nicholas Pooran 42, Yuzvendra Chahal 4/17) by 119 runs.</p>

3rd ODI: India hammer West Indies by 119 runs to register clean sweep in Trinidad

<p>Rohit Sharma will be back in action for Team India when the Men in Blue face Nicholas Pooran-led West Indies in the five-match T20I series opener, on the Caribbean island, on Friday (July 29). The regular Indian captain was rested for the just-concluded three ODIs as Shikhar Dhawan led the team in his absence and guided India to their maiden ODI series whitewash over the Windies away from home.</p>

<p>After the 50-over series, the action now shifts back to the shortest format ahead of the T20 World Cup (to be held in Australia later this year). Rohit will like his team to maintain the winning run and the 35-year-old will also aim to leapfrog New Zealand's Martin Guptill to regain an elite record, of having the most runs in men's T20Is.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>NZ opener Guptill was trailing Rohit's tally (3,379) by 21 runs before the Black Caps' first T20I versus hosts Scotland on Wednesday (July 27). He breached Rohit's run-tally by virtue of a 40-run knock during Kiwis' 68-run win over the Scottish line-up&nbsp;in the two-match series opener in&nbsp;Edinburgh. Guptill now has 3,399 runs in 116 T20Is. Thus, Rohit now needs 21 runs to regain the top spot for most runs in men's T20Is.&nbsp;</p>

WI vs IND, 1st T20I: Captain Rohit Sharma aims to regain elite record in series opener

<p>Shikhar Dhawan-led India whitewashed Nicholas Pooran's West Indies in the three-match ODI series finale, on Wednesday (July 27) at Port-of-Spain, Trinidad. In a rain-curtailed game, India were right on the money and walked past the Windies by a mammoth 119-run margin to inflict a clean sweep over the hosts.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Thus, Dhawan &amp; Co. created history as the second-stringed side led India to its maiden ODI series whitewash over West Indies away from home. Talking about the contest, India opted to bat first and rode on Dhawan's 58, Shubman Gill's 98 not out and Shreyas Iyer's 34-ball 44 to post 225-3 in 36 overs. The revised target&nbsp;for&nbsp;West Indies was a challenging one, being asked to chase&nbsp;257 in 35 overs. In reply, the home side were never in the hunt and got dismissed for a paltry 137 in 26 overs with Yuzvendra Chahal (4 for 17), Shardul Thakur and Md Siraj -- with both pacers returning with two scalps each -- shining with the ball.</p>

I am quite pleased with my form, I have been playing this format since a long time. I was happy with the way I played that knock, in the first ODI. And even today, happy with my peformance. The way he scored those 98 runs, it was amazing to watch. The way all the boys responded, it was pretty amazing. We feel lucky to come here, we are thankful to the crowd. They make us more popular.

Shikhar Dhawan-led India whitewashed Nicholas Pooran's West Indies in the three-match ODI series finale, on Wednesday (July 27) at Port-of-Spain, Trinidad. In a rain-curtailed game, India were right on the money and walked past the Windies by a mammoth 119-run margin to inflict a clean sweep over the hosts.

Shikhar Dhawan-led India whitewashed Nicholas Pooran's West Indies in the three-match ODI series finale, on Wednesday (July 27) at Port-of-Spain, Trinidad. In a rain-curtailed game, India were right on the money and walked past the Windies by a mammoth 119-run margin to inflict a clean sweep over the hosts. Thus, Dhawan & Co. created history as the second-stringed side led India to its maiden ODI series whitewash over West Indies away from home. Talking about the contest, India opted to bat first and rode on Dhawan's 58, Shubman Gill's 98 not out and Shreyas Iyer's 34-ball 44 to post 225-3 in 36 overs. The revised target for West Indies was a challenging one, being asked to chase 257 in 35 overs. In reply, the home side were never in the hunt and got dismissed for a paltry 137 in 26 overs with Yuzvendra Chahal (4 for 17), Shardul Thakur and Md Siraj -- with both pacers returning with two scalps each -- shining with the ball.

WI vs IND: When and where to watch West Indies vs India 3rd ODI match - IST time and streaming details

<p>Shkhar Dhawan-led India have been phenomenal in the opening two ODIs versus hosts West Indies. While the series has been a closely-fought one so far, the second-stringed Indian team has remained calm and composed in crunch situations to edge past West Indies in the first two games.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As a result, India have an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match ODI series. Ahead of the third and final ODI, India are&nbsp;on the brink of a historic feat.&nbsp;The Asian giants have been involved in bilateral ODI series with the Windies over the years. While&nbsp;the Men In Blue have won several series against the Men in Maroon, they have never managed to&nbsp;whitewash West Indies&nbsp;in an ODI series that features three or more matches away from home. In their 2019 tour, they won all games but the first ODI was washed out without a ball being bowled.</p>

<p>Thus, India can attain a huge feat with their maiden ODI series whitewash over WI away from home, 13t&nbsp;50-over series clean sweep overall. So far, India have attained series wins over Zimbabwe in 2013, 2015, and 2016 and against Sri Lanka, in the latter half of 2017.&nbsp;</p>

<p>After India's two-wicket win over WI in the second ODI, a jubilant stand-in captain Dhawan had said at&nbsp;the post-match presentation, "It was a great team performance. Boys didn't lose the self-belief, that is amazing. Iyer, Sanju, Axar everyone was amazing, Even Avesh came out in his debut game and scored those 11 important runs. Thanks to IPL, they perform on a huge stage. I felt that we bowled nicely. They got off to a good start. Hope and Pooran batted well. We thought if they could do it, we knew that we could do it. We started a little slow. Shubman batted well. The Iyer-Samson partnership made a huge difference. There was a run-out. But these things happen. Boys are learning. Thanks to the support staff as well. They have been doing a tremendous job."</p>

<p>Dhawan &amp; Co. will, thus, be desperate to complete a series whitewash over the home side on Wednesday (July 27), in Trinidad.</p>

WI vs IND: Shikhar Dhawan-led India on cusp of attaining MASSIVE feat in 3rd ODI in Trinidad

<p>India and West Indies will square off in the three-match ODI series on Friday evening (July 22). In Rohit Sharma's absence, Shikhar Dhawan will take charge of the new-look side, which comprises several young faces such as Deepak Hooda, Arshdeep Singh, Avesh Khan, Shubman Gill, Ishan Kishan, Ruturaj Gaikwad, etc.</p>

<p>Team India arrived in Trinidad, from Manchester, amid heavy rainfall which forced them to shift their net session indoors.

WI T20Is: No Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah as R Ashwin, KL Rahul return in Rohit Sharma-led squad

<p>The Pakistan-West Indies ODI series is making news worldwide. While Babar Azam has been generating eyeballs for his splendid form with the bat, the 27-year-old made heads turn&nbsp;in the second and penultimate ODI for various reasons.</p>

<p>Babar became the first-ever batter to score nine consecutive 50-plus scores in international cricket, courtesy of his impressive 77, he also made some noise for the wrong reason when he was found guilty of 'illegal fielding' during Pakistan's defence of 275/8 in Multan on Friday evening (June 10).&nbsp;</p>

<p>During the second ODI, Babar was spotted wearing a wicket-keeping glove&nbsp;while handling the ball. As per the law 28.1 Protective Equipment, "No fielder other than the wicket-keeper shall be permitted to wear gloves or external leg guards.

The Pakistan-West Indies ODI series is making news worldwide. While Babar Azam has been generating eyeballs for his splendid form with the bat, the 27-year-old made heads turn in the second and penultimate ODI for various reasons. Babar became the first-ever batter to score nine consecutive 50-plus scores in international cricket, courtesy of his impressive 77, he also made some noise for the wrong reason when he was found guilty of 'illegal fielding' during Pakistan's defence of 275/8 in Multan on Friday evening (June 10). During the second ODI, Babar was spotted wearing a wicket-keeping glove while handling the ball. As per the law 28.1 Protective Equipment, "No fielder other than the wicket-keeper shall be permitted to wear gloves or external leg guards. In addition, protection for the hand or fingers may be worn only with the consent of the umpires." The incident occurred in the 29th over of the second innings when Nicholas Pooran-led West Indies were chasing 276.

Both sides were coming into this fixture on the back of a defeat each. However, DC emerged on top as SRH succumbed to their third straight defeat as the playoffs race heats up.</p>

<p>Opting to bowl first, SRH removed Mandeep Singh -- playing for an injured Prithvi Shaw -- and Mitchell Marsh in no time as Bhuvneshwar Kumar applied pressure with his tight bowling. Opener David Warner (92*), playing his first game versus SRH since being released by the Orange Army last year, led the charge. He initially stitched a handy partnership with skipper Rishabh Pant (26) before Rovman Powell (67 not out) joined him and the duo tormented the SRH bowlers in the death overs. As a result, DC posted a mammoth 207-3 in 20 overs.</p>

Updated IPL 2022 points table after Delhi Capitals versus Sunrisers Hyderabad clash

<p>Chennai Super Kings (CSK) bounced back to winning ways as MS Dhoni made his return as captain of the side against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 on Sunday. Dhoni took over captaincy once again after Ravindra Jadeja decided to step down from his post following CSK's disastrous run in the tournament.</p>

<p>CSK rode on brilliant knocks from Ruturaj Gaikwad (99) and Devon Conway (85*) to post a strong total of 202 runs on the board and went on to defend the total successfully to bag their third win of the season. It was CSK's first win under Dhoni after his return as captain of the side this season.</p>

<p>The atmosphere was electric at the MCA Stadium in Pune as CSK fans thronged the stadium in huge numbers to see Dhoni return as skipper of the four-time champions. Dhoni had received a huge reception from the fans when he walked out to bat at number three after the dismissal of Gaikwad during CSK's innings.</p>

<p>The cheers didn't die down even when CSK were out on the field defending the 203-run target during SRH's run chase. SRH superstar Nicholas Pooran was left in awe of the unreal love that Dhoni gets from his fans across India. The West Indies batter said it was one of the moments he would never forget in his career.</p>

<p>Pooran shared a picture of him having a chat with Dhoni on Instagram after the game and wrote - "It’s absolutely electrifying when this guy is in the stadium, the love for him is unreal, Pune was on fire for him. Definitely one memory in my career I’ll always remember."</p>

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) bounced back to winning ways as MS Dhoni made his return as captain of the side against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 on Sunday.

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) bounced back to winning ways as MS Dhoni made his return as captain of the side against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 on Sunday. Dhoni took over captaincy once again after Ravindra Jadeja decided to step down from his post following CSK's disastrous run in the tournament. CSK rode on brilliant knocks from Ruturaj Gaikwad (99) and Devon Conway (85*) to post a strong total of 202 runs on the board and went on to defend the total successfully to bag their third win of the season. It was CSK's first win under Dhoni after his return as captain of the side this season. The atmosphere was electric at the MCA Stadium in Pune as CSK fans thronged the stadium in huge numbers to see Dhoni return as skipper of the four-time champions. Dhoni had received a huge reception from the fans when he walked out to bat at number three after the dismissal of Gaikwad during CSK's innings. The cheers didn't die down even when CSK were out on the field defending the 203-run target during SRH's run chase. SRH superstar Nicholas Pooran was left in awe of the unreal love that Dhoni gets from his fans across India. The West Indies batter said it was one of the moments he would never forget in his career.

Definitely one memory in my career I’ll always remember."

'The love for him is unreal': SRH star pays tribute to CSK skipper MS Dhoni after chat with him in IPL 2022

<p>Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) squared off against each other in match 5 of the IPL 2022 edition on Tuesday evening (March 30). Being asked to bat first, the Sanju Samson-led RR franchise posted a mammoth 210 for 6&nbsp;in 20 overs. In reply, the RR bowlers restricted SRH to 149 for 7 as they romped past the 2016 winners courtesy an impressive&nbsp;61-run win at the MCA Stadium, Pune.</p>

<p>From RR's perspective, the likes of Jos Buttler (35) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (20) got the franchise off to a good start before skipper Samson's 55, Devdutt Padikka's 41 and Shimron Hetmyer's 13-ball 32 propelled RR to a 200-plus total. Among their bowlers, Yuzvendra Chahal's three-fer and two wickets apiece from Trent Boult-Prasidh Krishna kept the&nbsp;SRH camp on the back foot from the word go.</p>

<p>It was a forgettable outing for SRH, who conceded plenty of no-balls, were hammered by the RR batters whereas the likes of skipper Kane Williamson, Nicholas Pooran, Rahul Tripathi, Abdul Samad, etc. all fell flat. Aiden Markram's 57*, Umran Malik (2 for 39),&nbsp;Washington Sundar's 14-ball 40 and Bhuvneshwar Kumar's economical spell were their only positives.</p>

<p>After RR's demolition of SRH, former Indian cricketer Kris Srikkanth took to his official Twitter handle and lauded Rajasthan. Meanwhile, he also labelled SRH as a 'terrible' team and wrote,"A great outing for @rajasthanroyals ! All around super peformance and looks like a top 4 contendor! Terrible for #SRH , team composition , depth in all departments is lacking, early signs of a last 2 contender for them #SRHvRR."</p>

You want to make some inroads, we looked very likely but unfortunately some fine margins in this game didn't go our way. It was a very good surface, Rajasthan played outstandingly&nbsp;well.
