Rohit Sharma will be back in action for the Men in Blue when India take on the West Indies in a three-match ODI series at home. The first one-dayer of the series will be played at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram on Sunday, September 27.
Rohit had a rather eventful tour of England in July. The 39-year-old looked totally out of sorts in the first two ODIs of the series. Rumors started circulating that the third ODI at Lord’s could be his last match for India. However, the BCCI dismissed all such claims and the Hitman shut critics by scoring a sublime century at Lord’s.
Rohit has featured 37 ODIs against the West Indies and has played 35 innings. In this feature, we compare his stats with those of Chris Gayle after the West Indies legend had also played the same number of ODIs against India.
