India vs West Indies Highlights, 3rd ODI: Team India take on a spirited West Indies in the third and deciding ODI at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy, in Trinidad and Tobago on Tuesday (August 1).
Team India - who lost the second ODI by a margin of six wickets - are being once again led by Hardik Pandya while regular captain Rohit Sharma and his predecessor Virat Kohli are not part of the playing eleven in the decider.

Indian batting lineup failed big time in the second ODI after key players like Rohit and Kohli were rested with an aim to give a chance to the youngsters. Shubman Gill, Sanju Samson, Ishan Kishan and other talented young guns in the team failed to live up to the expectations as India could only muster 181 runs.
In response, West Indies chased down the paltry target for the loss of four wickets and shattered the visitors' dream of an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series. Indian bowlers didn't have enough runs on the board to defend and the hosts equalised.
It was being said that Rohit and Kohli will be making a comeback in the third ODI against West Indies as coach Rahul Dravid will field a strong batting line-up in the decider and finish the series on a high. However, the team management seems to have gone with the decision to back the youngsters and give them some more opportunities to prove their mettle.
India acting captain Hardik Pandya said the team is making a couple of changes to the playing eleven. Ruturaj Gaikwad - who has been in prolific form in domestic cricket - came in place of Umran Malik while Jaydev Unadkat has replaced Axar Patel in the playing XI. West Indies are playing with the same team.

Sanju Samson has quickly moved on to 49 off 36 deliveries and showed a lot of intent with the bat. The right-handed batter is dealing in boundaries and sixes while Shubman Gill is batting on 76* (72 balls) at the other end. The partnership is worth 68* and India reach 221/2 in 31 overs.
