He played 87 ODI’s scored 1977, at an average 39.5.
Lloyd took up the captaincy role on the 1974-75 against India and is considered the greatest test and one day captain. He was instrumental in leading West Indies to their World Cup title in 1975 and 1979 played a significance role during the pinnacle years of West Indies Cricket. Lloyd was in 1971 named Wisden Cricketer of the year.
