India vs West Indies: Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni all set to create records, join elite list
Indian players are on the cusp of breaking a number of records against the West Indies in the upcoming ODI series.
Indian captain Virat Kohli is back at the helm for the ODI team. After the break he received in Asia Cup, he will now lead India as the hosts take on the West Indies.

Kohli also needs 221 runs to complete 10000 ODI runs. If he does breach the number, he will join Sachin Tendulkar (18426 runs), Sourav Ganguly (11363 runs), Rahul Dravid (10889 runs) and MS Dhoni (10123 runs) among the Indians.
Former captain MS Dhoni is also very close to scoring 10,000 runs for India in ODI cricket. He requires 51 runs to complete 10,000 runs in ODIs for India.
