Dhawan said this after winning the third ODI
Indian captain Shikhar Dhawan said the young players did well after registering a 119-run win over West Indies in the third and final ODI. Spinner Yuzvendra Chahal, pacer Mohammad Siraj and Shardul Thakur bowled well in the rain-hit third match to give West Indies a massive defeat.
Dhawan said, “I think the players are young, but they played with maturity. Really proud of the way he handled himself on the field. There are very good signs for us. I am very happy with my form, I have been playing this format for a long time. I was happy with the way I played that innings in the first ODI and am still happy with my performance. The way Gill scored 98 runs, it was fantastic."
