West Indies head coach Darren Sammy has expressed his ambition to break a long-standing historical trend in the upcoming One Day International (ODI) series against India. The West Indies team has not won a bilateral ODI series in India since 2002, marking a 24-year period of difficulty for the Caribbean side in this specific format and location.

Sammy, who took over as the white-ball coach, is tasked with revitalizing the team's performance in limited-overs cricket. The upcoming tour serves as a significant test for the squad as they look to overcome their historical struggles against the Indian team on home turf. While the report highlights the statistical challenge facing the team, it focuses on the strategic outlook Sammy brings to the series. The focus remains on the team's preparation and the specific goal of ending the two-decade-long winless streak in bilateral ODI series held in India.
