IND vs WI 3rd ODI: West Indies' right-arm fast-medium pacer Alzarri Joseph has continued his impressive performance in the 3rd ODI as well. A bowler dreams of dismissing Indian captain and former captain, Rohit and Virat in international cricket. But the bowler has done it twice now in a space of just 5 days!

After India opted to bat first in the 3rd and final ODI of the 3-match series, Alzarri Joseph didn't waste much time before getting into the act. In the 4th over of the innings, Joseph dealt the first blow on the 3rd delivery as he dismissed Rohit Sharma. The Indian captain was looking good at the crease, with 12 runs of his knock of 13 came in boundaries. Joseph pitched the delivery on full length and the ball slightly shaped in towards the batter. Rohit straightaway went for a drive away from his body, without any considerable footwork, and edged it onto the stumps. 

The Indian captain's intention seemed to be only dealing in boundaries and therefore he more or less paid the price with his wicket. Out came former Indian captain Virat Kohli at the crease. The 33-year old left the next delivery which was outside off on good length. On the very next delivery, Alzarri Joseph fired a delivery down the leg side, which Kohli tried to flick down the leg side and only managed a faint edge as it went to the wicketkeeper. Kohli walked back to the pavilion with a duck and an embarrassing smile on his face. 

What makes this even more special is Alzarri Joseph hasn't done this for the first time. In the 1st ODI also, the 25-year old Windies bowler dismissed Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in the same over. The bowler would be high on confidence now cause after all, which bowler wouldn't want to make Rohit & Virat their bunnies?

While talking about the match, India are lagging at the moment with 82/3 in 19 overs after opting to bat first. After losing Rohit and Virat in the third over, the returning opener & southpaw Shikhar Dhawan was dismissed by Odean Smith in the 10th over. Shreyas Iyer ( 27*) and Rishabh Pant (21*) are at the crease for Team India and would be looking to post a huge total and register first clean sweep against West Indies in the otherwise glorious history of Indian cricket.
