After sealing a 2-1 win over West Indies in the T20I series, Virat Kohli-led India will be boosted by confidence and look to continue their winning momentum when they take on the Caribbean side in the three-match ODI series, starting from Sunday at M.A Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. 

Heading into the series, the Men in Blue will be keen to clinch their 10th straight bilateral ODI series win against the side from the West Indies. 

However, India will miss the services of their star opener Shikhar Dhawan and seamer Bhuvneshwar Kumar due to their respective injuries. Dhawan was ruled out of the T20I and ODI series against West Indies due to a knee injury which he sustained at the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy recently. Bhuvneshwar, on the other hand, will miss the West Indies ODIs due to a groin injury. 

West Indies, on the other hand, came up with a decent performance in all three departments in the shortest format of the game against India. The Caribbean side, who won the second T20I by 8 wickets, will be keen to dominate India in the three-match ODI series and end their tour on high.
