Shikhar emerged to be the highest run-getter in the recently concluded Test series. He was drafted in the team after Murali Vijay was ruled out due to injury and the left-hander capitalised on the chance. Shikhar compiled a total of 358 runs including two centuries in this series at an average of 89.50 in three matches. During the series, he went on to register career best 190 runs.
India are in sublime form in shorter format of the game as well. They last played in an ODI series against West Indies which consisted of five matches. Kohli’s troops won that series 3-1.
Prior to their series against West Indies, India ended as runners-up in the Champions Trophy 2017 after losing the final at the Oval to Pakistan.
