And with the series sealed, the Indian team management can afford to make few changes and give opportunities to new players.

It remains to be seen whether Shreyas Iyer, if available for selection, can make the playing XI or not.

10:51 (IST) Feb 11

All the middle-order batters -- be it Pant, Suryakumar, Kohli or KL -- would be keen to get some more runs under their belt and end the ODI leg on a high.

10:51 (IST) Feb 11

In all probability, all-rounder Deepak Hooda would have to make way for Dhawan in the playing XI.

Pant will go back to the middle-order alongside Suryakumar Yadav, who is likely to retain his place after emerging as the team's highest scorer in the second match following a top-order collapse.

Skipper Rohit failed in the last game but it is common knowledge that he can take on any attack on his day, and so is the case with Dhawan.

The hosts, who were restricted to 237 for nine in the second game, would be keen to post a big score if they again bat first.

This means that vice-captain KL Rahul would continue to bat in the middle-order along with former skipper Virat Kohli, whose search for his 71st international hundred continues.

After his side's 44-run win in the second game on Wednesday, India skipper Rohit Sharma made it clear that Dhawan will be back for the last match of the ODI series.

In his absence, the team management opened with Ishan Kishan in the first game and the flamboyant Rishabh Pant in the second.

10:51 (IST) Feb 11

But now that the southpaw is back, the Indian team could be forced to make few changes to its winning combination.

10:51 (IST) Feb 11

Senior opener Dhawan was among the four players, including a reserve bowler, who had tested positive for COVID-19 just four days ahead of the start of the ODI leg.

10:51 (IST) Feb 11

Hosts India head into the final match of the series after having ticked almost all the boxes in the first two games, which they won comfortably.

10:51 (IST) Feb 11

The returning Shikhar Dhawan will add more firepower to a ruthless India, who are faced with the problem of plenty, as they eye a clean sweep of West Indies in an inconsequential third ODI.
