India opt to bat, Jadhav, Jadeja replace Pant and Chahal

India vs West Indies 4th ODI Toss repot: With the series locked at 1-1, India have fielded their most possible playing XI, bringing Kedar Jadhav and Ravindra Jadeja back to strengthen the middle order. Rishabh Pant and Yuzvendra Chahal made way for the all-rounders. 

India won the toss for the fourth time in a row and opted to bat first against West Indies as international cricket returned to the Brabourne Stadium after 9 years.

The last time an international match was played at this venue was in 2009 when India faced Sri Lanka in a Test match. Interestingly, this is India's second ODI at this venue with the first one being way back in 1995.

With the series locked at 1-1, India have fielded their most possible playing XI, bringing Kedar Jadhav and Ravindra Jadeja back to strengthen the middle order. Rishabh Pant and Yuzvendra Chahal made way for the all-rounders. 

"This is generally a high-scoring ground, we have seen the wicket is nice to bat on. We have got more depth in our batting today and we can go really hard today. Considering all the factors, giving our bowlers the best time to bowl was also the decision behind to bat first. We have known from game one. They (Windies) play fearless cricket, we are not taking anything lightly. We just want to be professional in what we want to do. This game surely will boost our intensity. We didn't get the result we wanted in the last game," said Indian captain Virat Kohli at toss time.

West Indies, on the other hand, have made one change, bringing Keemo Paul back in place of Obed McCoy.

"It's a fresh wicket and much international cricket has not been played here. Credit to the boys (for the good performances), it's a new day and we are just looking forward to the game today. This is an important game. Series tied 1-1 and we are geared up. One change for us," said West Indian captain Jason Holder.

Windies (Playing XI): Kieran Powell, Chandrapaul Hemraj, Shai Hope(w), Marlon Samuels, Shimron Hetmyer, Rovman Powell, Jason Holder(c), Fabian Allen, Ashley Nurse, Kemar Roach, Keemo Paul

India (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli(c), Ambati Rayudu, MS Dhoni(w), Kedar Jadhav, Ravindra Jadeja, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav, K Khaleel Ahmed, Jasprit Bumrah
