3 reasons why Rohit Sharma can succeed in upcoming West Indies ODIs
Rohit Sharma returns to the ODI squad after roughly two months away and faces West Indies across three matches starting September 27.
India will host West Indies for a three-match ODI series beginning September 27, 2026, at Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram. The second ODI follows on September 30 in Guwahati, and the third on October 3 in New Chandigarh.
Rohit Sharma has returned to India's 15-man ODI squad alongside Virat Kohli after approximately two months away from the format. The squad, announced by the Men's Selection Committee on September 16, 2026, is captained by Shubman Gill, with KL Rahul as vice-captain.
3. A West Indies bowling attack Rohit should managed well
West Indies arrive with a bowling attack that includes decent pace options, but the available evidence points to a group that Rohit has handled comfortably in the past. Matthew Forde has taken 10 wickets in 7 ODI matches at an economy of 5.14, while Jayden Seales has also claimed 10 wickets in 6 matches at an economy of 5.56. Alzarri Joseph is the spearhead of the West Indies attack. Rohit's ability to score at a high rate against pace bowling has been a consistent feature of his ODI career, and the West Indies attack does not present the kind of variety that has troubled him most in recent years.
