India will be bidding to win a 10th straight bilateral ODI series against West Indies when the two sides do battle three times in the space of seven days.
Virat Kohli's men have all the momentum after edging the T20 exchanges 2-1.
And they enter the 50-over series as favourites to complete the white-ball double.
They already have one ODI series win over the Windies, a 2-0 success in August - their last outings in the format.
The hosts are nursing a number of fitness issues. Bhuvneshwar Kumar is the latest injury casualty and has been replaced by Shardul Thakur.
Shikhar Dhawan is also missing and has been replaced by the uncapped Mayank Agarwal.
India: Virat Kohli (c), Rohit Sharma, Mayank Agarwal, KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer, Manish Pandey, Rishabh Pant, Shivam Dube, Kedar Jadhav, Ravindra Jadeja, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Deepak Chahar, Mohammed Shami, Shardul Thakur.
West Indies: Kieron Pollard (c), Sunil Ambris, Roston Chase, Sheldon Cottrell, Shimron Hetmyer, Jason Holder, Shai Hope, Alzarri Joseph, Brandon King, Evin Lewis, Keemo Paul, Khary Pierre, Nicholas Pooran, Romario Shepherd, Hayden Walsh Jr.
Dafabet have India as 1/5 favourites, with the West Indies rated at 10/3. No odds are available for the draw.
After a largely troubled year since the start of the World Cup, the Windies' form enjoyed an upturn when they overcame Afghanistan in India last month.
That 3-0 whitewash they were beaten in the T20s by the Afghans, before taking on India.
They looked bound for another series defeat after losing the opening 20-over game by six wickets, but they responded a rare display of character with an eight-wicket win in the second T20.
But in the decider India put on 240 for 3, which laid the foundations for a 67-run triumph, to secure the series 2-1.
Shai Hope, Sunil Ambris and Roston Chase return for the Windies after missing the T20 series, but there is uncertainty over Evin Lewis who has a knee injury.
A clear day is expected for the opening ODI in Chennai, with a full match anticipated.
The Star Sports network will broadcast the entire series in India and the UK. The three matches will also be available to stream online via Hotstar.
