West Indies have made two changes bringing in Kieran Powell and Veerasammy Permaul in place of injured Chris Gayle and Narsingh Deonarine.
Jaydev Unadkat has made the way for Mohit Sharma for India.
A dominant India would look to seal the series by taking an unassailable 2-0 lead against a struggling Caribbean side, who are proving to be a complete mismatch to the World champions.
After a listless performance in the Test series, losing explosive Gayle to an injury has added to the woes and worries of the Caribbean side, who now face a do-or-die situation to save the series.
The West Indies were expected to do better in the short format but they have failed to put up a fight as their batsmen continue to struggle.
The reversal of fortunes has eluded the visitors as India cantered to a six-wicket victory with 88 deliveries to spare to take a 1-0 lead in Kochi.
Teams:
India: Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli, Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina, MS Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammed Shami, Mohit Sharma
West Indies: KOA Powell, J Charles, MN Samuels, DM Bravo, LMP Simmons, DJ Bravo, DJG Sammy, SP Narine, V Permaul, JO Holder, R Rampaul
