India vs West Indies, 3rd ODI: With clean sweep on mind, Team India might not tinker too much with batting line-up
India created a world record on Sunday by sealing their 12th consecutive series win in the ODI format against the West Indies -- the most against a team. In this backdrop, head coach Rahul Dravid might be tempted to try out some of his reserve players but he will have to maintain a fine balance between keeping the momentum and testing his bench strength.
