India head coach Rahul Dravid and stand-in captain Shikhar Dhawan praised the entire unit after India clean swept West Indies 3-0 in the ODI series, by winning the final encounter by 119 runs via the DLS method on July 27, 2022.
India coach Rahul Dravid lauded the “professionalism” of his young outfit which has shown some “great signs” moving forward. Shikhar Dhawan on Wednesday became the first-ever captain of an Indian team that clean swept West Indies on their home soil in an ODI series.
“We came here with a really young team. A lot of the guys who played the England series didn’t play here and the way you guys have responded, the way you guys played in three games, and the level of professionalism you showed…,” Dravid said in his dressing room speech after the final ODI.
“Couple of tight games and to get on the right side of those high-pressure games, some terrific performances under pressure was a really great sign for a very young team. Really well done by Shikhar. I think he led very well. Well done to all of you, terrific performance,” Dravid added.
The Indian team will now play a five-T20I series against the West Indies with Rohit Sharma returning to captaining the side.
