Shai Hope's squad aims to take a lead in the series in Indore on October 11.
The West Indies and India meet for the third time in their five-match T20I series at Holkar Stadium, Indore on October 11, 2026. The series stands level at 1-1 after the opening two matches in Lucknow and Ranchi, setting up a decisive contest in the middle of the sequence.
Shai Hope captains the West Indies squad for this series. The team has selected a balanced combination of batters, all-rounders and bowlers to challenge India in the third encounter. The visitors would have gained significant confidence from their record-breaking performance in the second T20I, where they chased down a whopping 250-run target. They would want to build on that and take a lead for the first time on this tour.
Top order: Shai Hope (C & WK), Kamil Pooran, Shimron Hetmyer
Shai Hope continues as captain and wicketkeeper in the top order. He brought up his second T20I century in the last game and has already amassed three tons in five games across the two white-ball forrmats. The opening partnership will feature Kamil Pooran, who has only aggregated 16 runs from the first two games. He will look to provide able support to his skipper. Shimron Hetmyer has been disappointing so far in the series. He has registered scores of 5 and 0 from the first two games.
