Don’t write off champions: Nathan Lyon on Kohli’s recent batting slump
The Australian team must be hoping to take advantage of Virat Kohli’s prolonged batting slump when the two sides clash in the five-Test series for the Border-Gavaskar trophy
West Indies' captain Jason Holder won the toss and opted to bat first in the fifth and final ODI against India at Sabina Park in Kingston on Thursday.
"Looks like a good track and we'd look to put up a good total. We did it well in the last game and hopefully would do it again," Holder said after winning the toss.
Both India and West Indies are playing the same teams that featured in the fourth ODI, which the hosts won by 11 runs.

Currently, India are leading the five-match ODI series by 2-1.
"Not a bad time to be bowling first, would look to restrict them to a low total. It is always nice to reflect what went wrong when we lose games. We are a team that always does that and the boys are keen to go out there and rectify," Kohli said.
