Digital Desk: Newly appointed T20I captain for the Indian Cricket Team, Rohit Sharma, has penned a captaincy record after India moved to the rank 1 in the T20I series against West Indies.
The Indian cricket team maintained their authority over the West Indies in the T20i series, achieving a clean sweep of the 3-match T20I series in Kolkata on Sunday.
India won the final T20I by 17 runs, confirming that the West Indies did not beat a single game during their February tour.
India posted 185 and successfully guarded it to outclass Kieron Pollard's West Indies, gratitude to a phenomenal performance of power-hitting from Suryakumar Yadav and an improbable trance of 3/22 from Harshal Patel.
India has fixed the No. 1 place in the ICC T20I Rankings following a 3-0 triumph over the West Indies in the T20I series. Earlier in the final T20I between India and the West Indies, England ruled the ICC T20I rankings with 269 rating thresholds, while India was a point back.
In the meantime, Rohit Sharma made a record as the first Indian captain to lead his team to three or more series whitewashes in T20I cricket.
Rohit has earlier directed India to clean sweeps of Sri Lanka, the West Indies, and New Zealand (2021). He is solely the third skipper to complete the act, behind Pakistan's Sarfaraz Ahmed (5) and Afghanistan's Asghar Afghan (4).
India was clinical with both the bat and the ball throughout the series. India earned four transformations to the flank after Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant were allocated a bio-bubble leave for the third T20I and the T20Is against Sri Lanka later this month after seizing the T20I series with a safe 2-0 lead as early as Friday.
