India vs West Indies live stream: how to watch ODI cricket series online from anywhere
India looking to return to winning ways against visiting Windies
India will be happy to return to home turf after a disappointing recent series on the road. They now host the West Indies across six white-ball games. First up are a trio of ODIs in Ahmedabad and you can find out how to watch an India vs West Indies live stream from wherever you are in the world on this page.
Dates: February 6, 9 & 11
Start time: 1.30pm IST / 8am GMT / 7pm AEDT / 3am ET
Venue: Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, India
Live stream: Disney Plus Hotstar (IN) | Sky Sports (UK) | Fox/Kayo Sports FREE trial (AU) | Sling TV / Willow TV / ESPN Plus (US)
Watch anywhere: try ExpressVPN 100% risk-free
The series casts a new dawn for the Men in Blue, with Rohit Sharma captaining the ODI side for the very first time. Virat Kohli's shoes will obviously be huge ones to fill, but having the chance to find his feet on home territory against the team ranked only eight in the world should give Rohit ample opportunity to make himself comfortable – especially as the visitors' last couple of ODIs ended in defeat... to Ireland.
Those embarrassing home losses for the West Indies may have been somewhat cushioned by their T20 victory over England last month, but Kieron Pollard's men will seriously need to improve as they head to the hostile - if fan-free - conditions of Ahmedabad.
The road to the 50-over 2023 World Cup continues here and you can follow our guide for all the details you need to find a reliable India vs West Indies live stream and watch the ODId online from anywhere.
