XtraTime Web Desk: Rohit Sharma led Indian cricket team has registered a comprehensive series win over Windies as they thrashed the visitors 3-0 to complete a whitewash in Chennai. Shikhar Dhawan (92) and young wicket keeper batsman Rishabh Pant (58) were the star of the match. Now as the series with the Windies comes to an end here we will talk about five talking ahead of India’s tough tour of Australia.
#1
Though this Windies team is not up to the mark but any series win is always a boost for any particular side. Now after thrashing West Indies in the limited overs format the team will be looking forward to continue that good show in the ODI series against Australia in a few days time.
#2
In the absence of regular skipper Virat Kohli; Rohit Sharma has led the side to the T20 series win. Beside that he has been in supreme form in the ODIs and T20I series as well, which is a comfort point of the side. If Rohit can continue this show in Australia then it will be a headache for the hosts.
#3
Former India skipper MS Dhoni didn’t feature in the T20I series against the Windies to give more chances to young batsman Rishabh Pant. Though Rishabh failed to deliver in the first two T20Is but in the final game he played a match winning knock which is a good sign and if he concentrates more on his consistency that will be a bonus for the Men in Blue in Australia.

Young left arm pacer Khaleel Ahmed has been the find of the series for India so far. He bowled really well in the ODI series and later in T20Is as well. His left arm bowling is unknown to any Australian cricketer and he can be the trump card for Vira & co. there.
