After the news of the match being delayed by one hour, the India vs West Indies 3rd T2OI match's toss took place at 9:00 PM IST. Skipper Rohit Sharma won the toss and elected to bowl first at the Warner Park on Tuesday (August 2). Ravindra Jadeja has been rested for the third T20 clash as Deepak Hooda gets a chance again to show his skills. It will be interesting to see where he bats coming in place of Jadeja.

In the 2nd T20I, the match was delayed twice due to various reasons and fans were not pleased with it. However, West Indies won the second match by 5 wickets with Obed McCoy taking 6/17 to level the series at 1-1 after India had won the first match.

India captain Rohit Sharma said he will continue to back young bowlers and give them opportunities to showcase their skills at crunch moments of a game. Rohit’s comments came in the backdrop of his decision to bring in Avesh Khan (1/31 from 2.2 overs) to bowl the last over of the low-scoring second T20I instead of the more experienced Bhuvneswar Kumar (0/12 from 2 overs).
