Tarouba’s Brian Lara Cricket Academy is set to host the 1st T20I of the 5-match T20I series between India and the West Indies. Team India is coming on the back of a brilliant ODI series, and they would want to continue their run in this series as well.
The return of Rohit Sharma, Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya and Bhuvneshwar Kumar will make the Indian squad a lot stronger in this series. Shreyas Iyer and Suryakumar Yadav are also looking in great touch.
West Indies love playing the shortest format of the game, and the return of Shimron Hetmyer will make their squad stronger in this series. The unpredictable nature of the T20 format can work in their favour of them.
