Indian pacers pushed West Indies on the back foot in the third ODI while chasing 266 in 50 overs in Ahmedabad. Mohammed Siraj provided the hosts with the first breakthrough after he trapped Shai Hope in front of the stumps for 5 off 9.
Deepak Chahar then got into the act after he scalped a couple of wickets in the same over to leave the Caribbean side tottering at 25/3 in 5 overs.
Chahar first got rid of Brandon King for 14 off 13 and then followed it with the dismissal of Brooks who was sent packing for a three-ball duck.
The stand-in captain Nicholas Pooran and Darren Bravo later tried to steady the ship for the visitors with a partnership of 43 runs for the fourth wicket but Prasidh Krishna broke the shackles with a wicket of Bravo who was caught in the slips by Virat Kohli for 20 off 20.
The right-arm fast bowler then scalped the priced wicket of Jason Holder who was also caught in the slips by Rohit Sharma for 6 off 12.
Later, Kuldeep Yadav joined the party as he removed Fabian Allen for a duck who was caught by Rishabh Pant behind the stumps after edging one to the wicket-keeper leaving the visiting side struggling at 77/6.
