Analysing India's T20 Squad for West Indies Tour

After the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019, the Indian team is all set to commence their new season with a tour to West Indies, comprising of three T20Is, three ODIs, and two Tests.

Florida will host the initial two T20Is, and afterward, the teams move to the Caribbean Islands for the remainder of the matches.

Considering that West Indies are ranked ninth in the ICC T20I World Rankings, India should have an easy assignment ahead of them. The series will nonetheless be aggressive and energizing to look for the fans.

The Indian selectors have picked five main batsmen in Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, and Manish Pandey.

Krunal Pandya, Washington Sundar, and Ravindra Jadeja are the three all-rounders picked.

KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant are the two wicket-keeping alternatives, despite the fact that it is sure that Pant will keep wickets, while KL Rahul will play as a batsman.

Taking a gander at bowling alternatives, the five bowlers picked are Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Khaleel Ahmed, Deepak Chahar, Navdeep Saini, and Rahul Chahar.

The familiar names missing from India squad are Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, MS Dhoni, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Kuldeep Yadav, who have all been given a rest.

In spite of the fact that KL Rahul has opened the batting in the IPL and for India in absence of Dhawan in the World Cup, he may need to bat at number four, considering both Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma will be back opening the innings together for T20Is after quite a while, and Virat Kohli has owned the number three slot. It will be a shootout among Iyer and Pandey, however Pandey's IPL rush may get him the place ahead of somebody like Iyer.

Another difficulty for the team management will be to pick among Jadeja and Krunal Pandya for the spin-bowling all-rounder place available in the team. In spite of the fact that Jadeja performed sensibly well in the World Cup, Krunal has done well in the shorter formats, delivering match-winning exhibitions, which may get him the place instead of Jadeja.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Khaleel Ahmed consequently pick themselves, however Deepak Chahar and Navdeep Saini will go after the third pacer space. With the pitches expected to be level, Saini will be increasingly successful with his additional pace when contrasted with Deepak Chahar, who may battle to get his perilous outs wingers moving. Rahul Chahar should make his debut, being the main wrist spinner in the squad.

All in all India look a settled unit and despite missing out on some big names, have enough firepower to go past West Indies challenge.
