The match was identified by the sources as the third contest in the series between India and the West Indies. India's decision to begin with the bat was reported by both The Hindu and India Today.
For Kamboj, the match marked his first appearance in an ODI. The Hindu and India Today agree that the player made his debut in the format during the match.
The Hindu also reports that Kamboj was named as a replacement for pacer Prasidh Krishna, whom the publication described as injured.
The same information available provides no further details about Krishna's injury. The information on the replacement therefore remains as reported by The Hindu, without any additional specifics about his condition.
India Today places the match in Mullanpur, an indication consistent with the reference in The Hindu's material. The available sources do not provide the venue's full official name.
The available indications place the event on 3 October 2026. The date is derived from references provided by the sources and is not reported in narrative form in the available summaries.
