IND vs WI: I never play for spot, always play for team's success - Shardul

With his performance in West Indies, Shardul Thakur has made a strong case for his selection in India's World Cup squad, even as the seam-bowling all-rounder looks to keep "contributing" instead of focusing on sealing his place. Shardul turned out to be the most successful bowler in the ODI series against the West Indies, picking up eight wickets from three games with a best bowling figures of 4/37 in the decider here on Tuesday. The ODI World Cup will be held in India from October 5 to November 19, and the team management is looking to give opportunities to players to cement their places ahead of the showpiece. "I am happy to have picked up eight wickets in this series. As a cricketer we wait for this opportunity for years, sometimes you perform, sometimes not.

"I never think that I have to play to seal my spot because I can't play with that ..

IND vs WI: Hardik explains why India rested Rohit, Kohli for 2nd, 3rd ODI

Star all-rounder Hardik Pandya said stalwarts Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli needed to be rested for the second and third ODIs against West Indies to help India give opportunities to youngsters ahead of the World Cup. Skipper Rohit and former captain Kohli were rested once again in the final ODI of the series, which India won 2-1 after a whopping 200-run victory here on Tuesday under Hardik's leadership. "Virat and Rohit are very integral part of the team. And, you know, obviously, this was very important for someone like Rutu (Ruturaj Gaikwad) to get a game or Axar (Patel) to get a game because they've been playing cricket for so many years, they know how exactly all these situations have been. "So kind of giving the youngsters exposure and kind of making sure that if we want to check something, we have the opportunity to do it," Hardik said at the post-match presentation ceremony. After failing to fire in the first two matches, Hardik blazed away to an unbeaten 52-ball 70 in the ..

IND vs WI: 'We don't ask for luxury' - Hardik slams West Indies board

Indian captain Hardik Pandya rued the lack of basic facilities during their stay here, saying "it's time" for Cricket West Indies (CWI) to take note of and address the issues. Led by Hardik in the absence of Rohit Sharma, India thrashed the West Indies by 200 runs to clinch the three-match ODI series 2-1, with the skipper himself making an unbeaten 52-ball 70. "This was one of the nicest grounds we have played. Things can be better when we come to West Indies next time. From travelling to managing a lot of things. Last year also, some hiccups happened," Hardik said after the game at the Brian Lara Stadium. "I think it's time for West Indies Cricket to take note of it and make sure that when a team travels... We don't ask for luxury but we need some basic necessities taken care of. "Other than that, really enjoyed coming here and playing some good cricket," he added on Tuesday. The Indian cricketers had earlier expressed their displeasure to BCCI after their late-night flight from

WI vs IND: RP Singh backs Surya to be India's option at No 4 for World Cup

Former fast bowler RP Singh on Friday backed Suryakumar Yadav to be India's option at No 4 during the ICC World Cup in the possible absence of Shreyas Iyer, and said the Mumbaikar should be given ample game-time ahead of the big event. Not having a strong batter at the No 4 slot was one of India's failings in the 2019 World Cup, and four years down the line the team could be troubled by the very same issue as Shreyas has been recuperating from an injury. But Suryakumar, so far, has not been able to replicate his T20I prowess in ODI cricket, and he has gone without a fifty in the last 16 matches. However, RP Singh said ruling out the option of Suryakumar would be naive. Suryakumar Yadav is a good option for No 4, along with Shreyas (Iyer), provided he is fit. But if you are looking at him even as a backup option, it is important to give him game-time and he is certainly a good pick," said RP Singh during an interaction organised by Jio Cinema. Suryakumar is yet to make his mark in

IND vs WI: We wanted to give game time to our ODI players - Rohit Sharma

India captain Rohit Sharma didn't expect the Kensington Oval track to deteriorate so much but defended his decision to promote ODI specialists ahead of him and Virat Kohli in the first match here on Thursday. India beat West Indies by five wickets in a game where spinners from either side picked up 10 out of the 15 wickets that fell on a rank turner with a lot of bounce and carry. "I never thought the pitch would play like that, it was the team's need to bowl first. The pitch had everything for seamers and spinners, our guys did well to restrict them to that score," Rohit said at the post-match presentation ceremony. The skipper himself came into bat at No. 7 and said that it made him take a trip down memory lane when he used to come in at that number as a rookie. "I made my debut for India and was batting at number 7, reminded me of those days," Rohit said. On a serious note, it was a move to give game time to white ball specialists like Suryakumar Yadav. "We wanted to give game

IND vs WI 1st ODI: Kuldeep, Jadeja set up easy victory in Bridgetown

Skipper Rohit Sharma and senior pro Virat Kohli, who have 76 international hundreds between them, decided to give game time to middle-order batters as India beat West Indies by five wickets in the opening ODI, riding on exploits from spinners Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav. After Jadeja (3/37 in 6 overs) and Kuldeep (4/6 in 4 overs) set it up beautifully, shooting out the Windies for 114 in 23 overs, Ishan Kishan helped himself to a half-century (52 off 46 balls) in India's successful chase in just 22.5 overs. With 12 ODI matches in hand to find the perfect combination and some pieces of the puzzle still to be fixed before the World Cup, Rahul Dravid and Rohit's decision to give game time to middle-order batters was a welcome move. While it didn't exactly go as per plan for Suryakumar Yadav (19), who played a non-existent sweep shot, and Hardik Pandya (5), freakishly run-out at the non-striker's end, Kishan did his cause no harm with his fourth half-century. The chase was never
