A ruthless Indian team is unlikely to take its foot off the pedal as it aims to top-up a world record winning feat with another sweep against West Indies tomorrow.
India created a world record on Sunday by sealing their 12th consecutive series win in the ODI format against West Indies — the most against a team.
In this backdrop, head coach Rahul Dravid could try out some of his reserve players but will have to maintain a fine balance between keeping the momentum and testing his bench strength.
In the batting department, it is unlikely that Ruturaj Gaikwad would be preferred over Shubman Gill, who has had two innings of 64 and 43.
Gaikwad had his chance in South Africa where he looked distinctly uncomfortable against quality pace. Shreyas Iyer and Sanju Samson have also hit the straps with half-centuries in the last game and Suryakumar Yadav is not expected to cool his heels at the expense of Ishan Kishan despite his twin failures in the first two games.
Ravindra Jadeja, as the designated vice-captain, was the first choice all-rounder for this series before he was ruled out of the first two games due to a knee injury.
It is still not clear whether Jadeja will be available for the final game.
