Looking like a whitewash for India unless West Indies can pull something decent out of the hat all of a sudden — so far in the tour we have not really seen this from them.

Haven’t heard from the mystery spinner since the WT20, has he retired?

Thakur to Pooran, out Caught by Ishan Kishan!! This is high in the airrrr, another swirler. It's not Shardul under the ball this time but it's Shardul with the ball. What a lovely catch by Ishan Kishan. Lovely slower delivery first up from Thakur. It was outside off stump so Pooran wanted to power it over the off-side, but he got a top edge that flew very high towards point. Ishan called for it because he had the gloves on. He swirled with the ball too but timed his full length dive to pefection to make it look so clean and easy. Rohit absolutely loved that catch. Pooran c Ishan Kishan b Thakur 61(47) [4s-8 6s-1]

Key man gone

 

[dravidthewall]

Good captaincy Rohit Sharma..

Super team effort by India . Hitman looking very strong as captain. Another poor performance by WI.

It’s West Indies, even Tendulkar can be made to look like peak Ponting against them.

 

[sweep_shot]

So, 6-0 it is for India (as expected).

West Indies just beat England in the T20 series

West Indies just beat England in the T20 series

No Stokes, Woakes, Buttler, Archer etc, far from their strongest xi.

Yes, we lost to England Z, but had we beat them I wouldn’t be calling Babar a great captain”.

 

[Marathonrunner]

India became the number one side in the men's ICC T20I team rankings for the first time in six years after its 3-0 series win over West Indies in Kolkata on Sunday.

India surpassed England which had 269 rating points to take the top spot. It previously held the reigns over the format under Mahendra Singh Dhoni's leadership from February 12, 2016 to May 3, 2016.

And also was at home in WI, whereas playing away in India is a different prospect altogether
