West Indies defeated India by six wickets in the second one-day international at Barbados on Saturday, clinching their first victory over the Asian side in nearly four years.
The win also helped Windies level the series at 1-1 with the decider set to take place on Tuesday.
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli were rested for the second match by the Indian team management.
India, who were asked to bat after the hosts won the toss, made a good start as Ishan Kishan (55) and Shubman Gill (34) notched up an opening partnership of 90.
But, after a collapse, India soon found themselves at 113-5 before Suryakumar Yadav (24) tried to rescue the innings.
However, a second collapse in the lower order saw India bowled out for 181, with Gudakesh Motie and all-rounder Romario Shepherd bagging three wickets each on a pitch that helped the bowlers.
In response, Shardul Thakur dismissed the home side’s top order with three wickets after Kyle Mayers gave them a brisk start with 36 off 28 deliveries, which included two sixes.
But West Indies skipper Shai Hope (63 not out) and Keacy Carty (48 not out) played patient knocks to chase down the target, finishing the match in the 37th over.
"When things are difficult, you've got to find ways to score quickly on that wicket, especially against a quality bowling attack like India," said Hope, who was named player of the match.
"Very satisfied, the aim was to get back into the series. We've got to win one more and need to come back strongly."
Both teams will also play a five-match Twenty20 series after the ODIs.
