IND vs WI 3rd ODI 2022 Stat Highlights: Shubman Gill, Yuzvendra Chahal Star As Dominant India Clinch 3–0 Series Sweep Over Windies
Shubman Gill continued his fine form with a second fifty in three games while Yuzvendra Chahal and the rest of the bowling attack stepped up big time to help India whitewash West Indies for the first time in an ODI series on Caribbean soil. The hosts would now look forward to salvaging pride in the T20I series.
Another match and another victory as India pull off a dominant show to clean sweep the West Indies 3-0 with a 119-run victory in the 3rd ODI on Wednesday, July 27. The game was reduced to by overs due to rain but India managed to rack up 225/3 in 36 overs. Shubman Gill was once again the protagonist of the show as he struck yet another fine fifty, his second in three games. But he would be massively disappointed to have missed out on his maiden international hundred as he remained undefeated on 98* when the heavens opened up.

The hosts were eventually bowled out for just 137 runs in 26 overs as India secured a thumping 119 run-victory to clinch a series whitewash for the first time on Caribbean soil. Skipper Nicholas Pooran and Brandon King were the top scorers for West Indies with 42 runs each.
