After winning the Test and ODI series with West Indies, India is now ready for the T20 series. The first T20I will be played against that team on Thursday (August 3). It is known that India won 1-0 in Tests and 2-1 in ODIs. West Indies led by Nicholas Pooran is getting ready to take revenge in five T20 series.
The team management, which intends to give more opportunities to young players in T20, has already kept Rohit and Kohli aside. The team also hopes to give a chance to Sanju Samson, who has sidelined Ishan Kishan, who was the man of the series in the ODI series.
Shubman Gill will be opener. It is known that Hardik Pandya is the captain and Suryakumar is the vice-captain for this T20 series. With this, these seniors will play a vital role in the middle order.
Tilak Verma from Hyderabad, who made a splash for Mumbai Indians in the IPL, is also likely to make his debut for Team India. He scored 343 runs in 11 matches in this year’s IPL.
