Ahead of the crunch contest, the hosts were pictured ironing out minor deficiencies from their game. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) uploaded the images of social media and their post read: “Snapshots from #TeamIndia’s training session ahead of the 3rd and final ODI against West Indies.

Fast bowler Navdeep Saini was also present during the net session as he has joined the squad as replacement for injured Deepak Chahar. The medium pacer experienced pain in the lower back after second ODI and has been ruled out from the series decider.

Chahar was a part of India’s playing XI in both the previous ODIs in Visakhapatnam and Chennai. He returned with figures of 0/44 in the first ODI and 1/48 in the last one. Saini, on other hand, has recovered from the groin injury which had kept him away for a few matches in the Vijay Hazare Trophy.
