Shikhar Dhawan will lead India in the upcoming ODI series against West Indies while Ravindra Jadeja will be his deputy. Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah and Rishabh Pant were rested for the series.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has released the squad for the ODI series scheduled to begin on July 22, 2022 in Port of Spain.

The right-handed batsman played three ODIs in Indian colors and managed to score only 49 runs.
