India beat the West Indies 1-0 in the test series and dominated for the most part. This article will talk about the top three Indian players to watch out for in the India vs. West Indies ODI series in 2023.
Virat Kohli
In this ODI series, Virat Kohli, the king of run-chases and the greatest player ever to play the ODI format, will be a player to watch out for. For a while, Kohli wasn’t scoring centuries in cricket; however, he is now back to his best, as we saw in the test series.
He presently has 76 international centuries, and he only needs 25 more to surpass the God of Cricket’s record. We will see more of these hundreds come from his bat in this ODI series.
Hardik Pandya
The all-rounder Hardik Pandya has not performed at an outstanding level in this format. He has had on-and-off periods, and his injuries have upset him as well. However, this time, a fit Hardik Pandya is traveling and bowling well at the same time.
Since Hardik has the ability to change the game with both the ball and the bat, we anticipate him to be India’s most valuable player in this series. His bowling responsibilities will rise in the one-day international series due to the lack of experienced bowlers.
Sanju Samson
In this ODI series against the West Indies, Samson will be another player to keep an eye on. In both the IPL and domestic cricket, he has been in excellent form, and his leadership abilities are also remarkable.
Samson has a chance to win over his critics and solidify his position as a keeper-batsman in this series despite his inconsistent play in international cricket thus far. It is almost certain that he will be in the initial starting eleven of the team.
