India vs West Indies: Not looking at captaincy numbers, says Rohit Sharma after historic 3-0 sweep

Rohit Sharma became the first India captain to complete an ODI series sweep against the West Indies. India hammered West Indies by 96 runs in the 3rd ODI in Ahmedabad on Sunday.

Rohit Sharma is making an early impact as India's limited-overs captain. The Mumbai star led India to their first-ever sweep of West Indies in a men's ODI series as the Asian giants completed a 3-0 whitewash of the ODI series in Ahmedabad.

Rohit Sharma has won 11 ODIs out of the 13 he has captained India and he has ticked all the boxes in his first full-time assignment as the limited-overs captain. Rohit led India to a 96-run victory in the 3rd ODI on Friday at the Narendra Modi Stadium, expertly marshalling his bowling unit. India bowled out West Indies for 169 after posting 265 on the board in the series finale which was a dead rubber as the hosts had sealed a 2-0 unbeatable lead in the 2nd ODI on Wednesday.

All eyes will be on Rohit as India are heading into the T20 World Cup this year and the 50-over World Cup next year but the captain stressed that he is not looking too much into his records and is focussed on helping the do better in the coming days.

"Definitely not looking at those numbers (When asked about his captaincy record). We have ticked a lot of boxes in this series. Whatever we wanted to get out of this series, we pretty much got. Noise will be around as long as we're playing. People look up to us, everybody watches us," Rohit said.

India were in a spot of bother at 42/3 in the 3rd ODI after opting to bat on Friday. However, the much-talked-about middle-order issues seem to be sorting out as India had a 110-run stand for the 4th wicket between Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant.
