India vs West Indies 3rd ODI: India Probable XI - Will Men in Blue make any changes?

India suffered an unexpected defeat at the hands of West Indies on Saturday in the 2nd match of the three-match ODI series.

Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma both didn't play as the Indian team was led by Hardik Pandya. But the result was not perfect as the visitors crumbled against West Indies. India's batting lineup succumbed big time as they were bundled out for just 181 runs.

Despite a decent opening partnership of 90 runs, it was a middle-order capitulation which caused their dismal downfall and thus levelled the series for West Indies.

The two teams meet again on Tuesday (August 1) for the decider at the Queen's Park Oval in Trinidad and Tobago. As they collide for the series, it is to be seen whether the team management opts for any change or goes bold with the same team.

The absence of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli was visible in India's batting. It was more of a guardianless kid who found things difficult on the first day of school.

But the batting was poor as Indian batters threw their wickets away and couldn't deal with both pace and spin. Suryakumar Yadav, Sanju Samson, Hardik Pandya all fell cheaply for the visitors.

IND vs WI 3rd ODI: Will India make Changes?

The Indian team would be keen to give the youngsters the chances but will be also interested in winning the series. We may see a host of changes for the 3rd ODI.

Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma may return

Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma may both come back to the playing 11 for the final ODI. The Indian captain can replace Shubman Gill, while Kohli can come in place of Ravindra Jadeja.

Ruturaj Gaikwad to play?

India may also hand Ruturaj Gaikwad a chance in the final match. The opening batter has been a spectator since joining the squad in the Test series. And we may see him finally getting a game for India since his debut last year.

Other Changes

It will be apt for Jaydev Unadkat to get a game for India. He played his last ODI back in 2013, and we may see him in the delimited overs format again after a gap of a decade. Unadkat can replace Umran Malik as the speedster hasn't found any success so far.

Yuzvendra Chahal may also play his first game and Kuldeep Yadav may sit out.
