India vs West Indies 2018: Top 4 performers of the ODI series
The recently concluded series between India and West Indies ended to be a lop-sided affair after the Windies side gave a scare to the Men in Blue.
After losing the first match by 8 wickets in Guwahati, the Windies pulled off a tie at Vizag and won the third match at Pune by 40 runs. However, Jason Holder's men failed to repeat their past performances and slumped to heavy defeats in the final two ODIs.
There were a few bright spots for the visitors as S Hetmyer, Shai Hope and Ashley Nurse put up some good individual performances and tried their best to help their side. But, in the end, the team faltered to lose the series 1-3.
For the home side, skipper Virat Kohli and opener Rohit Sharma piled up huge runs while Khaleel Ahmed emerged as the third pacer for the team.
Here are the top 4 performers of the series-
