df = pd.DataFrame({
    'Week 1': [5000,5900,6500,3500,4000,5300,7900],
    'Week 2': [4000,3000,5000,5500,3000,4300,5900],
    'Week 3': [4000,5800,3500,2500,3000,5300,6000],
}) #Sales in INR

Instead of using

df.plot()
plt.xticks(df.index.tolist(), 
['Monday','Tuesday','Wednusday','Thursday','Friday','Saturday','Sunday'])

How to use xticks as a parameter in the df.plot(). I tried:

df.plot(xticks=['Monday','Tuesday','Wednusday','Thursday','Friday','Saturday','Sunday'])

but got error:

ConversionError: Failed to convert value(s) to axis units: ['Monday', 'Tuesday', 
'Wednusday', 'Thursday', 'Friday', 'Saturday', 'Sunday']

Set the ticks and the labels like so:

df = pd.DataFrame({
    'Week 1': [5000,5900,6500,3500,4000,5300,7900],
    'Week 2': [4000,3000,5000,5500,3000,4300,5900],
    'Week 3': [4000,5800,3500,2500,3000,5300,6000],
})

df.plot()
plt.xticks(ticks=df.index, 
           labels=['Monday','Tuesday','Wednesday','Thursday','Friday','Saturday','Sunday'])
plt.show()

Output:
