Virat Kohli has his troops in a huddle and is having final word with them. The players now take their position on the field. Shai Hope and Evin Lewis walk out now. Shardul Thakur with the new ball first up. One slip in place. Here we go...
West Indies (Unchanged Playing XI) - Evin Lewis, Shai Hope (WK), Shimron Hetmyer, Roston Chase, Nicholas Pooran, Kieron Pollard (C), Jason Holder, Keemo Paul, Alzarri Joseph, Khary Pierre, Sheldon Cottrell.
India (Playing XI) - Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli (C), Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant (WK), Kedar Jadhav, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Shami, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Navdeep Saini (ODI DEBUT, IN FOR DEEPAK CHAHAR).
Kieron Pollard, the West Indian skipper, says that the last game here was a high scoring one. Tells that it is matter of assessing the conditions and playing accordingly. On the batting, he says that they have done really well. Feels that there is nothing like one specific area and says that they need to be good in all the areas. Hopes that they will be able to put a big score batting first.
Virat Kohli, the Indian captain, says that dew will be a big factor. Tells that they played against England last time where defending 350 was difficult. On the final, Kohli says that the mindset needs to be right. Tells that they have won matches even after losing tosses even in Tests. Says that the sides need to be open for taking the challenges. Believes that one cannot play reckless cricket if they win the toss. Mentions that Chahar is out injured and Navdeep Saini makes a debut in the ODIs.
TOSS - The Indian skipper flips the coin and this time Pollard calls the wrong side. INDIA WILL BOWL FIRST.
Pitch report - Murali Kartik is for the pitch report along with Sunil Gavaskar. Sunny G says that the spinners will get some purchase off the cracks which are present on the surface. Tells that the cracks are softer and hence the spinners might get some turn, not vicious or anything but certainly some turn will be on the offering. Kartik says that sides chasing has won most times on this ground. Gavaskar reckons that the dew will be a major factor in this game and hence the captains will have to make smart calls in deciding their playing XI.
West Indies landed the first punch in Chennai. Hammering was the response from the Men in Blue in Visakhapatnam. It is time for the showdown in Cuttack. Shai Hope and Shimron Hetmyer were the destructors in the first ODI while Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul demolished the Men in Maroon in the next. Interestingly, Virat Kohli who was at his brilliant best in the T20I series is yet to get going in the series and this could well be his chance to lead from the front and help the team bag the series. What about the West Indies? Pollard has led the side well and would hope that his men turn up for one final time in the long tour of India and go home with a massive series win. Toss will be an important factor in this game. We will have the answers for all at the end of the game. Before that, stay with us for the Toss and team updates.
