Fast bowlers Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna picked three wickets each as India thrashed West Indies by 96 runs in the third and final one-day international to clean sweep the series (3-0) in Ahmedabad on Friday.
Chasing 266 for victory, West Indies got all out for just 169 in 37.1 overs. All-rounder Odean Smith top-scored for his side with 36 off 18 balls, and stand-in skipper Nicholas Pooran made 34 (39).

Congratulations Team India for winning the ODI series v WI 3-0. Key takeaways: Rohit's captaincy, Prasidh showing great promise, Chahal showing his value. Suryakumar Yadav & Shreyas played key knocks in 2nd & 3rd ODIs respectively. Hooda impressed as well
