After securing a 2-1 victory against the visiting West Indies, the Men in Blue now gear up for a three-match ODI series against their Caribbean counterparts starting on December 15.
The last time that these two sides met for a three-match ODI series was back in August this year when India emerged 2-0 victors with one match washed out. This time around the home team are once again favourites to pick up another dominant series victory. The ICC team rankings also highlight the gulf between the two sides with India ranked no. 2 and West Indies in the no. 9 spot.
