West Indies came back in style in the fourth ODI
The first match in this series was washed out due to rain.
Later, Virat Kohli and his boys marked two consecutive wins in the second and third games which made India the hot favorites. But in the fourth ODI, West Indies came back to form in spanking passion and marked a convincing win against India.
The previous game also exposed India's fragile middle-order. It was only Ajinkya Rahane who put up a decent fight against the West Indian bowlers, and the remaining names in the so called world class batting lineup failed miserably in finding the form. Mahendra Singh Dhoni touted as the best finisher in contemporary cricket displayed the most pathetic innings of his career as he scored just 54 runs facing 114 balls, which is the second slowest in the history of ODI's.
Exclusive Team News
Even though India lost their previous game, Virat Kohli will not make any changes in the playing eleven. All the players in the Indian team are in form, and they have the capability to bounce back even from the ashes. The major point of concern for the team is the bad form of skipper Virat Kohli. The maverick batsman has been going through the toughest patches of his career for the past two months, and he will be trying hard to find his lost rhythm in this match by delivering a spectacular knock at any cost.

On the other hand, the morale of the West Indian team is at an all-time high, as they successfully defeated the Indian team even after putting up a small total of 189.
The team, in all probabilities, will stick on to the same playing eleven which played the previous game. For the hosts, Ewin Lewis and Kyle Hope will open the innings, and they will be followed by Shai Hope, Roston Chase, Jason Mohammad, and Jason Holder.
