Shikhar Dhawan recent stats in ODIs
Shikhar Dhawan is the leader of the pack for this ODI series and will have to lead from the front.

Yuzvendra Chahal recent stats in ODIs
Yuzvendra Chahal is coming off a brilliant run in the ODI series against England. The conditions in West Indies are also suited to spinners if their recent series against Bangladesh is anything to go by. The leg-spinner has picked 13 wickets in 7 matches against WI at an average of only 25.
Matches Played | Runs/Wickets | Last 5 performances | Last 5 performances against WI | Batting/Bowling Average |

West Indies are going through extremely tough times in the 50-over format. They have lost their last five ODIs including the recent three to Bangladesh at home. India, despite resting their key players, possess greater threat and the Caribbean side, led by Nicholas Pooran, will have to pull up their socks to put up a fight in this series.
India, on the other hand, have decided to try their fringe players who performed in the Indian Premier League. Shikhar Dhawan and Chahal are experienced cricketers and will play a huge role in helping the visitors come out on top.
India and West Indies have locked horns against each other in 136 ODIs so far. India have won 67 out of those while the Caribbean side trumped the Men in Blue on 63 occasions along with two tied and 4 no result matches.
Team India, despite being inexperienced, should be able to win the first ODI and take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
