India vs West Indies: Statistical preview of 3rd ODI at Port of Spain - Kohli, Rohit and Kuldeep eye big records

Opener Shikhar Dhawan would be desperate for a big knock after four consecutive failures as India eye another series victory when they clash with the West Indies in the third and final ODI on Wednesday. With scores of 1, 23, 3 in the Twenty series and single-digit score of 2 in the second ODI, Dhawan’s comeback post injury has been far from ideal. Troubled by in-coming deliveries, twice Dhawan lost his wicket to pacer Sheldon Cottrell. Since Dhawan is not part of the Test squad, the Delhi left-hander would like to finish the Caribbean assignment on a high. While Dhawan is struggling for form, other top-order batsmen Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are eying a big record in this clash. Let’s take a look at some important numbers and milestones that can be reached in this contest.
