Before 1983, when the two sides engaged in friendly matches, there was no significant rivalry between India and the West Indies. In 1983, India defied expectations and won the World Cup by defeating the West Indies, who had previously won the tournament twice.
Since then, the two teams have collided on more than 250 occasions, producing many high-octance matches. The competition over the years has always been neck-to-neck between the two sides, with India winning 102 games as compared to West Indies' 99.
In Test match cricket, India have won 22 games against the Caribbean unit, who have beaten the Asian giants 30 times in 98 matches. As far as One-Day Internationals are concerned, there has been very little separating these two teams, with a 67-63 scoreline in favor of the Men in Blue.
The T20I format has seen India get the better of West Indies in 13 of their 20 games, while the two-time champions have won only six times against the Men in Blue.
The two teams are set to battle once more in a three-match ODI and a five-match T20I series

Since then, India and Sri Lanka have faced each other 238 times. Out of the 168 ODI matches played between these two nations, 93 games have been won by India and Sri Lanka have managed to win only 57 games.
India have also won more T20 games overall. In the 24 T20 games played between these two countries, India have won 17, while Sri Lanka has only been successful in winning six games.
As far as red-ball cricket is concerned, India have dominated the islanders, winning 22 of the 46 matches played. Sri Lanka, on the other hand, have tasted success on just seven occasions against India in Test matches.
