India and West Indies will face-off in the decider ODI of the series at Cuttack on Sunday, a ground where India have won all their ODIs against West Indies and have not lost a game since 2007.
India come into the game with their confidence soaring high, having set and smashed multiple records in the second ODI, a game which they won when they posted 387-5 on the scoreboard, courtesy centuries from Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul, with some late carnage from the young duo of Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant.

Kuldeep Yadav then shone with the ball, picking up a hat-trick, his second in ODIs, the first Indian to do so, when he dismissed Shai Hope, Jason Holder and Alzarri Joseph off consecutive balls to completely derail the already wayward Windies chase.
India will be forced to make at least one change to their starting XI for the third ODI, as pacer Deepak Chahar was ruled out due to lower back pain, a similar issue to that which put star bowler, Jasprit Bumrah out of action for a few months.
Senior pacer, Bhuvneshwar Kumar is also likely out till the Indian T20 League in April with a groin injury, with pacer Shardul Thakur replacing him in the ODI squad, and then played in the second match in place of Shivam Dube.
