Background

Ind vs WI Live Score: The Indian cricket team will aim to clean sweep the West Indies 3-0 by winning the third and final T20I at the Eden Gardens on Sunday. India currently have an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series. The hosts had earlier won the ODI series against Windies by 3-0.

If India wins 3rd T20I, they will clean sweep the West Indies throughout the tour and this will be their second such achievement. Earlier in 2017, the Indian team led by Virat Kohli had a 9-0 clean sweep against hosts Sri Lanka in all three formats (Test, ODI, T20) on the tour of Sri Lanka.  Apart from that, Pakistan and New Zealand have done it twice, while Australia and West Indies have done this once each.

All clear now at the Eden Gardens and the two teams have arrived for the third and final T20I.

 As the series in India's pocket, skipper Rohit Sharma would look to make a few changes in the side to give chance to the ones sitting on the bench. 

Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant have been given a break and won't be a part of the second T20I. This gives room for Rohit to bring in two new batters. Although Ishan Kishan struggled in the first two matches, his chances of getting dropped are low as India would need to play a wicket-keeper in Pant's absence.

Shreyas Iyer, the newly formed captain of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) might get a chance to play at number four, where Virat Kohli usually bats. All-rounder Deepak Hooda has also been warming the bench and might get a chance. 

In the bowling department, Rohit Sharma might want to give chance to one or two of his bowlers waiting in the ranks. Bhuvneshwar Kumar has bowled well this series, especially in the penultimate over in the 2nd T20I. Harshal Patel and Deepak Chahar have leaked runs in the first two T20Is and stand a chance of being dropped.
