Justin Greaves ruled out of 3rd ODI [Source: AP]West Indies all-rounder Justin Greaves is reportedly set to miss the third ODI against India, to be played on Saturday afternoon in Mullanpur. The player was one of the reasons the visitors had looked threatening at the beginning of the series, showing a lot of promise with the bat. The Caribbean men have copped this blow just a night ahead of the match in Mullanpur, as they were looking to salvage a win to end the series 1-2 before the T20I leg of the tournament. Greaves also missed the Guwahati ODI earlier in the week.Justin Greaves to miss Mullanpur ODI: ReportAs reported earlier, Justin Greaves injured his calf during his century in the series opener in Thiruvananthapuram. This kept him on the sidelines for the second ODI, where his replacement, Kaecy Carty could only score 9(10).According to the latest report by Cricbuzz, Greaves has not recovered from the calf injury, which will further keep the 32-year-old out of action and West Indies will need to find some solutions.Also Read: West Indies Predicted Playing XI vs India- 3rd ODI, 2026West Indies on lookout for solutionsDespite the West Indies' struggle to find results, Greaves, who was seen as a bowler who could bat earlier, has been a revelation with the bat in 2026. He has already racked up two centuries across Tests and ODIs this year and averages over 40 in both formats.Thanks to his form, he got a promotion to the top of the batting order. He has 178 runs in 4 ODI innings at an average of 44.50 so far. Similarly, he averages 49 in 6 Test innings for 294 runs. So, his reintroduction to the playing XI could have been valuable for the visitors to get a win before T20Is.Keacy Carty has managed just 22 runs at a strike rate of 53.65 in the series. Hence, there is an outside chance that Shai Hope could bring 19-year-old Jewel Andrew back into the side and potentially open with him. They could also shuffle the batting order, with in-form Shai Hope opening the innings if required.Also Read: Records That Shubman Gill Can Achieve in India vs West Indies 3rd ODI
