Mohammed Siraj set to return for third West Indies ODI

Mohammed Siraj returns to the XI after Prasidh Krishna's injury; Nitish Kumar Reddy also set to replace Auqib Nabi Dar.

Prasidh Krishna has been ruled out of India's third and final ODI against the West Indies after sustaining an injury while bowling in the second match in Guwahati on Wednesday. The BCCI selectors added uncapped fast bowler Anshul Kamboj to the ODI squad as a replacement but he is unlikely to play.

Mohammed Siraj is expected to return to the playing XI and lead the bowling attack after being left out of the first two matches. The Indian pacers conceded 405 runs in the second ODI without him. Nitish Kumar Reddy is also likely to replace Auqib Nabi Dar, who conceded 84 runs without taking a wicket on debut.

India have already sealed the series. The team is unlikely to make changes to the top three of Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli. KL Rahul and Naman Dhir will hope to get batting opportunities in the final match.

The story so far
  1. Mohammed Siraj has played only four ODIs in 2026 despite Jasprit Bumrah’s limited availability, prompting questions about India’s World Cup planning.
