India’s chance to sweep series as well as test bench strength

India enters the third and final T20I against the West Indies here on Sunday with an unassailable 2-0 lead, which could lead the host to test the bench strength. At a minimum, a couple of changes will certainly happen, as Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant have been rested for this outing and the upcoming Sri Lanka T20I series. 

Batting replacements

Shreyas Iyer, Deepak Hooda and Ruturaj Gaikwad, all of whom did not feature in the first two T20Is, are the batting replacements available. Shreyas can fill in for Kohli in the middle-order, while Hooda is in line to make his T20I debut. Ishan Kishan will take over wicketkeeping duties from Pant. If Kishan is relieved of his opener’s spot, Gaikwad could be drafted in.
