West Indies' captain Jason Holder won the toss and opted to bat first againt India in the fourth ODI at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua on Sunday.

"The wicket was a bit up and down last time, probably it would do a bit at the start today as well. So, we just have to get past that and push on thereafter," Holder said after winning the toss.

In the batting department, Dinesh Karthik made his space replacing injured batsman Yuvraj Singh.

"We want to be ruthless as a side and play to the best of our potential. We were put under the pump in the last game, but we came out on top again. The players are pretty optimistic in going ahead in these two games also," Indian skipper Virat Kohli said.
