India vs West Indies 3rd ODI Highlights and scorecard: India win, make 3-0 clean sweep over Windies

And that's it, India win third and last ODI of the series by 96 runs and inflict a 3-0 clean sweep on the visitors. West Indies have a lot to discuss and ponder about. Their batting has been utterly disappointing in this series. India a happy side. Not long back that they had got a 0-3 drubbing in hands of South Africans. But Rohit Sharma's return has ensured India were capable to win despite many ODI stars not there.
