'We want the guys who will be part of the World Cup to play as much as possible,' said India's skipper Virat Kohli.

West Indies set 283-run target for team India in the third one-day of a five-match series on Saturday. 

Batsman Shai Hope top-scored with 95 as West Indies reached 283 for nine in the third one-day international against India in Pune on Saturday.

Hope hit 6 fours and 3 sixes in his 113-ball knock to give West Indies a fighting total. Number-nine batsman Ashley Nurse also smashed a crucial 40 off 22 balls.

Fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah claimed four wickets to return impressive figures of 4-35.

After Jason Holder departure as the sixth wicket, West Indies were in a vulnerable position. 

Shai Hope, however, tried to push the run rate to put a decent target for team India but lost his wicket after scoring 95 runs. His innings included six fours and three sixes.
