Raina, Shami Join Twitter in Lauding India’s Series Win vs Windies

Jasprit Bumrah tweeted a ‘winning selfie’ with teammates MS Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja and KL Rahul.

The Indian cricket team registered a comfortable 9-wicket win over West Indies in the fifth and final ODI, and clinched the five-match series in Thiruvananthapuram on Thursday, 1 November.

With this, Virat and co clinched India’s sixth straight series win at home – they last lost at home in 2015, when they went down 2-3 against South Africa. The visitors next play India in a three-match T20 series starting 4 November.

Great effort by the boys to win the series. So proud to be a part of this dedicated side! ✌️ #INDvWi pic.twitter.com/zAU0XfQ5Ce
