India and West Indies will be locking horns against each other on Sunday with the series on the line. Both teams had won each game apiece in the T20I series. However, it was the Men In Blue that came out on top in that decider. The Virat Kohli-led side will once again look to repeat the T20I glory while the visitors will be aiming to sign off on a high. Prior to the series decider, a player from both sides decided to try their hands in a different sport.

The Decider

Both teams head into Sunday's series-decider with confidence after their performances in the previous two games. West Indies were too good for India in Chennai as they registered a convincing eight-wicket win with more than two overs to spare. In the following game at Vizag, the Men In Blue scored the equalizer with a comprehensive 107-run win riding on Rohit Sharma's splendid 159 and Kuldeep Yadav's second hat-trick in One Day Internationals. It remains to be seen which team will have the last laugh at the Barabati Stadium in Cuttack in this 'Winner Takes It All' match. For India, Deepak Chahar has been ruled out due to a back injury and young pacer Navdeep Saini has been roped in as a replacement.
