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.
The West Indies have named a full-strength bowling unit as they are going up against the likes of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill, and KL Rahul. Hence, today we will see 3 Windies pacers who could pose a threat to these big-name India batters in the ODI series.
Here are the 3 West Indies bowlers who could pose a threat to India in the ODI series:
- Roston Chase
Roston Chase, the West Indies Test captain, is the leading spin all-rounder for his team in ODIs. Chase has made 1191 runs and has taken 47 wickets as well in 71 ODIs for West Indies. Chase will be the leading spinner for his team in the ODIs and, given the spin-friendly pitches in India, will be a big threat to Indian batters. Chase has played in India before across formats and will use his full experience to help the West Indies.
- Alzarri Joseph
Alzarri Joseph is the leader of the West Indies pace attack and has extensive experience of playing in India. Overall, Alzarri has 141 wickets in 88 ODIs with the best bowling figures of 5/56 at an economy of 5.42. He has also played 22 IPL games in India, taking 21 wickets with the best bowling figures of 6/12 on his IPL debut. Expect him to trouble the likes of Rohit, Kohli, Rahul, and Jaiswal with his pace and bounce at a high pace.
- Shamar Joseph
Shamar Joseph has only played 9 ODIs, taking 4 wickets, but has excelled in Tests, with 64 wickets in 15 games. The right-arm pacer has impressed with his big-hearted bowling ability and spirit of never giving up. He has experienced the taste of playing in India in the Indian Premier League and will be expected to take the lead or provide support to the likes of Alzarri Koseph in the pace attack.
