Krishna became ‘famous’
Team India’s deadly fast bowler Prasiddha Krishna took 10 wickets in 3 matches played in this latest ODI series against West Indies. He was the leading wicket taker of the entire series. This was the reason that he was given the ‘Man of the Series’ (Man of the Series WI vs IND ODI Series, 2022). He has 18 wickets in his account in 7 matches played so far in international ODI career. He has become the Indian bowler with the most wickets in the first 7 matches of his career.

In the first match of this latest series against the West Indies, the famous Krishna took 3 wickets, 4 in the second and 3 in the third.
‘This’ unwanted record was recorded in the name of West Indies
The history of One Day International cricket shows that the West Indies have lost their 11th consecutive overseas series in the ODI series played from 2019 to 2022. Earlier, from 1999 to 2000, 9 and from 2009 to 2010, West Indies had faced defeat in 8 One Day International series.
In the three matches of the 3-match ODI series played in Ahmedabad, the West Indies team was seen struggling in front of India. Morale and the strength of the team appeared weak. Now it remains to be seen what the West Indies, who are the champions of the ICC T20 World Cup twice, feeds against India in the 3-match T20I series starting from 16 February.
After the ODI series, now a 3-match T20 series between India and West Indies will be played on 16, 18 and 20 February at Eden Gardens (Eden Gardens Cricket Stadium WI vs IND T20I Series, 2022) in Kolkata.
