IND v WI Fantasy XI

• Wicket-keepers - Nicholas Pooran, Rishabh Pant
• Batters - Rovman Powell, Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav (VC)
• All-rounders - Roston Chase (C), Venkatesh Iyer
• Bowlers - Yuzvendra Chahal, Sheldon Cottrell, Harshal Patel, Bhuvneshwar Kumar

IND v WI Preview: 

At least two changes are expected in India's playing XI with Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant being given a break. The hosts are already 2-0 up in the three-match series and will be looking to test the bench strength. 

West Indies will be looking to cross the line once in this series after suffering defeats in all five games of the limited-overs series. Unless an injury comes up, West Indies are expected to play the same XI from the 2nd T20I, where they got close. 

IND v WI Probable Playing XI:

• India - Ishan Kishan (wk), Rohit Sharma (c), Ruturaj Gaikwad, Suryakumar Yadav, Shreyas Iyer, Venkatesh Iyer, Deepak Chahar, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Harshal Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, Yuzvendra Chahal
• West Indies - Brandon King, Kyle Mayers, Nicholas Pooran (wk), Rovman Powell, Kieron Pollard (c), Roston Chase, Romario Shepherd, Akeal Hosein, Odean Smith, Jason Holder, Sheldon Cottrell
