India have fielded the same team in the last two matches. But there will definitely be changes in this game. Former skipper Virat Kohli and wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant have been rested for the match. Kohli will be replaced by Ruturaj Gaikwad. Rohit and Ruthuraj will open the innings together. Ishaan may drop to number three in Kohli’s position. In Rishabh’s absence, he will also be the wicket-keeper.
India won the first match officially. At the end of the run chase, Hitman and his team won by six wickets. But the second game was literally a thriller. India overtook the winning Windies by eight runs. The Windies needed 29 runs in the last two overs to win. They had eight wickets in hand. But the game changed in the 19th over when Bhuvneshwar Kumar bowled. Bhuvneshwar bowled brilliantly and conceded just four runs in the over. Dangerous Nicholas Pooran was expelled. The Windies needed 24 runs in the last over bowled by Herschelle Patel. Roman Powell hit two sixes in a row but the Windies were only able to score 16 runs.
