India will be hosting the West Indies for three ODIs and three T20Is in September-October 2026. The West Indies had previously visited India for two tests this year and now will play a white-ball series. The first ODI will be played in Trivandrum on September 27; the second ODI will be played on September 30 in Guwahati, and the third ODI on October 3 in New Chandigarh.
West Indies will be looking forward to this ODI series as they want to begin their prep for the 2027 World Cup as well. Windies have named a very good squad for the ODI series, and today we see the three players who can trouble India in ODIs.
Here are the 3 West Indies players who could trouble India in the IND vs. WI ODI Series:
3. Keacy Carty
Keacy Carty has been a welcome addition to the West Indies team, and he has repaid the faith the selectors have shown in him. He has made the No. 3 spot his own in the ODI format and has scored 1814 runs in 53 ODIs, with four centuries and six fifties at an average of 41.22 and a best score of 170. He has shown good technique against both spin and pace and will be one of the key batters when West Indies play India on pitches suitable to spinners.
2. Jayden Seales
Jayden Seales, 25, is the best young cricketer to play for West Indies in recent times. He already has 110 wickets to his name in 30 Tests, and in ODIs, he has 44 scalps in 33 games, with the best bowling figures of 6/18. The right-arm pacer has a very good pace and has graduated from the Windies U19 team to the senior team. His performance has shown glimpses of the old West Indies pace glory.
1. Shai Hope
Shai Hope acts not only as the captain but also as the first-choice wicketkeeper of the West Indies national cricket team. In addition to that, he is the most prolific batsman in all formats for his team, as confirmed by his statistics. Hope has featured in 155 ODI matches, earning 6,312 runs, which include 19 hundreds and 32 fifties, averaging 50.09, with his best score being 170. Shai Hope is set to bat at the top for the Windies, and with India fielding a second-tier fast bowling attack, he will aim to assert himself in the initial stages.
