IND vs WI: Shikhar Dhawan-led India could shatter THIS world record with series victory
Shikhar Dhawan-led Team India are on the cusp of achieving a world record in ODI cricket history, should they clinch the series on Sunday.
Team India's track record in limited overs cricket has been envious of late, and on Sunday, ahead of the second ODI between the Men in Blue and West Indies, Shikhar Dhawan's side will be eyeing a glorious achievement. India could shatter a world record in ODI cricket history should they win the second ODI in Trinidad and clinch the series.
Having defeated England in the three-match T20I series, followed by another ODI series victory against the Three Lions, India came into the ODI series against West Indies riding high on confidence. In the first match at Queen's Park Oval, they managed to register a nail-biting 3 runs victory.
Now that Dhawan's side leads the series 1-0, another victory in the second ODI on Sunday could help them register a new world record for most consecutive ODI series wins against a single opponent in bilateral series.
Since the beginning of 2007, Team India have racked up 11 back-to-back victories against the West Indies. Another triumph on July 24, will see the Men in Blue win their 12th series win over the Caribbean side, which will be the most by any team in ODI cricket history.
Currently, India are level on 11 back-to-back bilateral ODI series wins over a single opponent with Pakistan, who have trounced Zimbabwe but Sunday's match could make the Shikhar Dhawan's side world record holders.
