The first match of the three-match T20 series between India and West Indies will start from 6th December in Hyderabad. The 'Men in Blue' would like to start the campaign with a victory, on the other hand, the visitors will also like to win the opening match and take an early lead.
For Team India, KL Rahul will open the innings in the absence of Shikhar Dhawan along with Rohit Sharma. Yuzvendra Chahal can be included in the final playing XI as the frontline spinner, along with Ravindra Jadeja or Washington Sundar While the Indian captain will try to balance the team with two front spinners and two genuine fast bowlers.
West Indies will open with Lendl Simmons and Evin Lewis. Captain Kieron Pollard himself is known for hitting big hits. From the batting point of view, the Windies team has enough players to beat India in the opening encounter.
Talking about the bowling, the visiting team in this department looks a little weak. It remains to be seen how they will perform in front of the strong Indian batting line-up.
Probable Playing XI of India:
Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Manish Pandey, Rishabh Pant, Shivam Dube, Washington Sundar/Ravindra Jadeja, Yuzvendra Chahal, Deepak Chahar and Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
