<p>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.</p>
<p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-players/rohit-sharma/"><strong>Rohit Sharma</strong></a> 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.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>In 2026 ODIs across 9 innings, Rohit has scored 379 runs at an average of 42.11 and a strike rate of 99.21. His highest score this year is 138, which came at Lord's Cricket Ground in the third ODI against England, where he struck 17 fours and five sixes off 110 balls during India's pursuit of a 388-run target. Before that England tour, he contributed 16, 48, and 79 in India's home ODI series against Afghanistan. His last ODI appearance before this series was July 19, 2026, against England, which was the ODI previously mentioned, where he slammed 138 runs.</p>
