The West Indies have made one change from their opening loss, with fit-again all-rounder Jason Holder back in place of Fabian Allen at Kolkata's Eden Gardens.

"We will try to bowl first and limit them to a low total," Pollard, whose side trail the three-match series 1-0, said at the toss.

"Continue to execute our skills. We can't do much in a one-day break."

India, led by Rohit Sharma, play the same team, which won the previous match by six wickets, in their bid to clinch the series.

"It's a lightning outfield, we need to play our shots and then see what we need to do after the powerplay," said Rohit.

"There is always room for improvement, and we want to raise our game to the next level."
