Virat Kohli wins the toss and elected to bat first
After a one-sided affair in the first game, a stalemate in the second and a batting collapse in the third, team India will try to tilt the balance of the series in their favour.
Virat Kohli, after the last game defeat in Pune, talked about the lack of balance in the team. The Indian bowling has failed to clear the tail of the touring side in the ODI series till now. With the inclusion of Kedar Jadhav, Kohli would feel more equipped with the services of the Right-arm offbreak spinner. Kedhar, who was instrumental in adding the 7th Asian Cup title to the Indian cricket team’s trophy cabinet, is making a come-back after pulling his hamstring in the final of the Asia Cup.
Virat Kohli has been a player on another planet. He has stacked 404 runs, with an average of 202! He has scored 3 centuries already and is on a course of equalling the legend Kumar Sangakkara on the record of most consecutive ODI centuries. Besides Kohli, only Sharma and Rayudu have put runs on the board.
As far as the Windies are considered, it has been a story of two batsmen. Shai Hope, the right-hander almost snatched a win for his side in a finish, 2 games back, has scored 250 runs with a whopping average of 125. The 21 year old, left-handed bloke, Shimron Hetmyer, on the other hand, has 237 runs to his name with an average of 79.
India would hope their side to perform better in their otherwise strong department of death bowling. The middle order would feel a touch comfortable with the arrival of Kedar Jadhav.
Windies, on the other hand, would be roaring with confidence. After a forgetful Test series, they have come a long way, not only challenging the 2011 World Cup winners but also defeating them at their home ground. A thriller is set to see which team would have a chance to clinch the series in the last ODI.
The Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai will host the much awaited fourth contest of the series. The pitch is expected to favour batsmen, while the spinners will get some assistance during the first innings.
