India vs West Indies 3rd ODI: India Predicted XI - Time For Rohit Sharma To Try Different Options

The Indian cricket team sealed yet another bilateral series win after defeating West Indies in the second ODI by 44 runs, despite posting a below par total of 237/9. Fast bowler Prasidh Krishna was the star of the show, picking up 4 wickets, while the others supported him as the 'Men in Blue' scripted a solid victory. Captain Rohit Sharma's exemplary leadership skills were also on display during the match as he rang in the right bowling changes to help the team defend a low total. With the series in the bag India are expected to make some changes to their playing XI as they look to try different options for next year's ICC World Cup.

Rohit Sharma Reveals Why Rishabh Pant Opened, Drops Big Hint On India's Openers For 3rd ODI vs West Indies

The sight of Rishabh Pant walking out to open the innings with Rohit Sharma in the India vs West Indies 2nd ODI at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad took many surprise. It was the first time Pant was given an opportunity to bat at the top of the order in the 50-over format. The move drew eyeballs even more because KL Rahul, who had missed the first ODI due to personal reasons, was back in the XI. Pant took his time early on but just when he was looking set, he played a loose shot, trying to drag an Odean Smith delivery from way outside the off-stump to end up giving his wicket away for 18. After the match, which India won by 44 runs to seal the three-match series, captain Rohit Sharma revealed the reason behind promoting Pant as an opener.

Rohit Sharma the batter faced a rare failure but Rohit Sharma the captain was at his best in the second ODI against West Indies at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Wednesday. Rohit's attacking field placements, his proactive bowling changes, especially the move to bring back pacers Prasidh Krishna and Shardul Thakur when West Indies stand-in captain Nicholas Pooran was just looking to cut loose against the spinners, paid rich dividends for India in the second ODI, which they won by 44 runs to seal the three-match series 2-0. But there was another side of Rohit's captaincy, which is not often seen, that was visible on the field during the second match.
