India Wins Toss and Opts to Bat Against West Indies in Third ODI

India lead the series 2-0 and have given Anshul Kamboj an ODI debut after replacing injured all-rounder Washington Sundar.

  • On Saturday, India captain Shubman Gill won the toss and elected to bat against West Indies in the third ODI at New Chandigarh. Bowling all-rounder Anshul Kamboj makes his ODI debut, replacing injured Washington Sundar.
  • India enters the final match leading the series 2-0 following eight-wicket victories in Thiruvananthapuram and Guwahati. The Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium hosts the contest, becoming the 52nd venue in India to stage a men's ODI.
  • Captain Gill has clocked a 60-plus batting average, matched only by Virat Kohli and Australian finisher Michael Bevan at later career stages. Over 241 balls and 369 minutes of play, Gill has redefined format efficiency.
  • West Indies made three changes to their lineup, with Jewel Andrew, Matthew Forde, and Gudakesh Motie returning to replace Roston Chase and Shamar Joseph. These adjustments refresh the visiting squad's attack for the final encounter.
  • India also welcomed back pacer Mohammed Siraj and all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy to their playing eleven. These strategic inclusions support the hosts' pursuit of a series sweep in the final match of the tour.
