The Indian team has won the toss and elected to bowl first at Kolkata’s Eden Gardens. India have already sealed the series with back-to-back wins, and would be aiming for a whitewash in the three-match series.
England, meanwhile, would be aiming to salvage some pride. They haven’t won a game on the Indian soil since coming here in November. The Three Lions, earlier, lost the Test series 4-0.
India have made just one change in the playing XI. They have rested Shikhar Dhawan, and added Ajinkya Rahane. England made a couple of changes. Sam Billings and Jonny Bairstow in for Joe Root and Alex Hales.

“Pretty decent surface,” Kohli said. “Won’t change too much. It’s always been a good chasing ground, quick outfield, ball travels in the air quickly and the dew as well. There’s nothing like keeping winning games.”
“Its important to create good habits and sustain them,” he added. “It’s about being ruthless. There has been dew, not too early in the evening, but dew is a massive factor in the last 15 overs. That means you can get settled.”
