Team India will welcome their star players like Rohit Sharma, Rishabh Pant and Hardik Pandya in the series, whereas Shimron Hetmyer is making his return to the West Indies side after a brilliant IPL season with Rajasthan Royals. The tour has been dominated by the Indian team, but the T20 format is quite unpredictable.
