#4 Spinners: Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal
The spin-duo, KulCha, has been on an upward curve in the recent things of ODI cricket. They have been complementing each other very well. It is their quota of 20 overs that has helped the Indian team to contain the batsmen in the middle overs.
India didn't include Kuldeep Yadav in the playing XI for the first ODI against the Windies. Nonetheless, India drafted Kuldeep Yadav in the playing XI for the second ODI. His contributions proved to be vital for India in the second ODI as he scalped three wickets in his quota of ten overs while giving away 67 runs. Thus, Kuldeep Yadav is least likely to get the axing for the third ODI.
Meanwhile, Yuzvendra Chahal has had a decent series thus far. In the absence of Kuldeep Yadav, Chahal was the torchbearer of the Indian bowling lineup in the first ODI where he grabbed three wickets in his quota of ten overs while giving away just 41 runs. Besides, he had a decent run in the second ODI as well where he gave 63 runs in his quota of ten overs while taking a wicket. Hence, he is expected to retain his place in the third ODI.
Thus, the spin-duo is most likely to field the playing XI in the third ODI as well.
