18:20 IST: Pitch report: "A rather flat track here in Chennai despite the sticky-looking texture, and it's very likely to be a be a fantastic wicket for batting," says Sunil Gavaskar.

18:00 IST: Hello and welcome to the live commentary from the third and final T20I between India and the Windies. 

The spin department may see the return of Yuzvendra Chahal in the absence of Kuldeep while Krunal Pandya will expect to build on an impressive start to his international career. The visitors, on the other hand, have been in disarray in the T20s after posing an unexpected challenge to the Indians in the ODIs. The absence of regular openers - Chris Gayle and Evin Lewis - and the decision to tinker with the combination at the top hasn't helped their cause either.

Captain Carlos Brathwaite admitted they had to make do with the resources available and the team will aim to end the series with a consolation win. The likes of Kieron Pollard, Darren Bravo and Denesh Ramdin haven't fired and the impressive Shimron Hetmyer, pushed up the order, hasn't found the going easy to add to the Windies' woes. Among the bowlers, Oshane Thomas has impressed the most with his pace and ability to take wickets but has lacked support from the others.
