He would also be the third captain to win five tosses in an ODI series against West Indies. Further, he will be the fourth Indian captain to win five tosses in a bilateral series.
MS Dhoni is edging towards a milestone

Indian bowlers can notch up a few records
Bhuvneshwar Kumar needs two more scalps to get to 100 ODI wickets for India. Kuldeep Yadav needs four wickets to become the highest wicket-taker of 2018. India also need four wickets to become the fourth team to reach 150+ wicket-mark in 2018. If Jasprit Bumrah manages four wickets, he will become the pacer with the highest number of wickets since 2017.
