Mithun in For Aaron, Narine Debut as India Bowl

Ahmedabad: Indian skipper Virender Sehwag won the toss and decided to field first against West Indies in the third ODI of the five-match ODI series at the Sardar Patel Gujarat Stadium in Motera on Monday.

Abhimanyu Mithun has been drafted into India's final eleven in place of Varun Aaron, who has been given rest for the third ODI.

West Indies have included Narine at the expense of opener Adrian Barath. Interesting move that.

Sammy says it's about seizing the moment after creating opportunities to go on top. Much talked-about mystery spinner Sunil Narine will make his debut. For more about him, read this story from a couple of months ago, when Narine was bamboozling batsmen in the Champions League T20.

Teams:

India: Virender Sehwag (captain), Parthiv Patel (wk), Gautam Gambhir, Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina, Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja,R Ashwin, Abhimanyu Mithun, R Vinay Kumar and Umesh Yadav.

West Indies: Lendl Simmons, Danza Hyatt, Marlon Samuels, Darren Bravo, Kieron Pollard, Denesh Ramdin (wk), Sunil Narine, Darren Sammy (captain), Andre Russell, Ravi Rampaul and Kemar Roach.
