India vs West Indies 3rd T20 preview: Kohli and Co eye series whitewash

Mumbai: Virat Kohli and Co. will be aiming to complete a whitewash over the West Indies in the third T20 International in Guyana on Tuesday. India have already taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series with 22-run (DLS method) win over West Indies at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground in Lauderhill, Florida.

Ahead of the third T20 International, skipper Kohli has expressed that the team will be looking forward to experiment and shuffle the starting squad by bringing 'few guys in.'

"Winning is always going to be a priority. But sealing the series gives the chance to bring few guys in. Idea is always going to be to win first. But winning the first two games gives the cushion," said Kohli.

Kohli also lauded youngster Washington Sundar, who was asked to open the bowling in both the matches. The 19-year-old was successful to provide India with an early breakthrough.

"Starting with the new ball, the way Sundar has bowled against guys who come hard at the ball, he's done a tremendous job. The composure he's shown has been outstanding. He's become fitter, leaner and is very handy with the bat as well. He is definitely going to be a factor for us," Kohli said.

After the T20I series, India and West Indies will lock horns in a three-match ODI series which will be followed by a two-match Test series.

Both Rishabh Pant and Manish Pandey have failed to leave an impact in the first two matches. KL Rahul is expected to come in place of Manish Pandey.
