India will once again be the favorites as they take on the West Indies in a five-match T20 series starting on Thursday. The series comes just days after India’s triumph in the ODI series against the West Indies. This series will provide an opportunity for young players to showcase their skills. India won the previous three-match ODI series 2-1, despite a shocking loss in the second game. The favorites will be looking to continue their winning momentum in the T20 series as well.
Opportunities for Young Players
India will be giving opportunities to players like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Tilak Varma, and Mukesh Kumar in these five matches. Hardik Pandya will captain the team in the opening contest at the Brian Lara Stadium. These players have earned their call-up to the T20I squad based on their performances in the Indian Premier League, and they will be looking to make the most of this opportunity.
Selection Changes
Sanju Samson has been brought back into the squad, and he will be looking to make an impact and secure his place in the ODI World Cup squad. Ravi Bishnoi has also returned to the squad, joining spin options Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, and Axar Patel. With a strong batting lineup including Ishan Kishan, Shubman Gill, and Yashasvi Jaiswal, India will be aiming to post big totals if they win the toss.
West Indies’ Struggles
The West Indies have been struggling in recent times, with defeats in the Test and ODI series against India. They will face a tough challenge in the T20 series, which is their strongest format. They have recalled Shai Hope and Oshane Thomas to strengthen their squad, with Kyle Mayers named vice-captain. Their aim will be to prepare for the T20 World Cup next year.
Series Schedule
The series will begin at Tarouba in Trinidad and then move to the Guyana National Stadium for the second and third fixtures. The final two matches will be held at the Broward County Stadium in Lauderhill, Florida. India will be looking to continue their dominance over the West Indies and build momentum for future tournaments.
