IND vs WI: India and West Indies are squaring off with each other in the three-match ODI series. The Rohit Sharma-led side is testing quite a few things in the ongoing series, keeping in mind the World Cup. But it’s fair to say that the experiments haven’t worked out as won the first game difficulty and then lost the second game by 6 wickets. The series stands at 1-1 and the focus now moves towards the series decider third game, which will be played on Tuesday (1st August).
IND vs WI: India Playing 11 for the third ODI against West Indies Prediction
IND vs WI: Skipper Rohit Sharma along with Virat Kohli were rested for the second game and Hardik Pandya was given the chance to lead the team. The move didn’t work as they struggled to get going with the bat and were bundled out for just 181 runs.
The two senior pros are likely to be back in the team for the series decider. Rohit and Shubman Gill are expected to open the innings. The youngsters have been under the pump too for not getting a big score and would be looking to change their fortunes. Kohli on the other hand will be looking to get some game time as he hasn’t batted in the last two matches.
Ishan Kishan, who has been in fine form in the series, is likely to be rested for the final game and Sanju Samson, who was added to the XI for the second game, is likely to get another chance. Hardik Pandya along with Axar Patel are expected to be the two all-rounders in the team. Whereas Ravindra Jadeja might take up a rest.

Suryakumar Yadav hasn’t done justice to his place in the ODIs as he hasn’t quite fired in this fired as he did in T20Is. But it is expected that he might get a chance again as he can be the X factor that India might need in the World Cup.
Instead of Kuldeep Yadav India might try Yuzvendra Chahal whereas Jaydev Unadkat can also come into the team in place of Shardul Thakur. Mukesh Kumar and Umran Malik are likely to retain their place.
