India Predicted XI For 1st T20I vs West Indies: Rohit Sharma Likely To Pick A Debutant; Focus On Ishan Kishan, Shreyas Iyer
India registered a 3-0 clean sweep against the West Indies in Rohit Sharma's maiden tryst as a full-time white-ball captain but even the biggest of Team India fans would agree that there are multiple holes to be filled in the limited-overs set-up. Despite India's dominating performance just a week back in the ODIs, one is likely to give it a second thought before betting on them to repeat the same in the T20I series beginning in Kolkata on Wednesday. Partly it is because of West Indies' reputation of performing far better in the T20Is compared to the other formats but largely it is because of India's indifferent form in the shortest format of late. Not too long ago, India failed to reach the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup last year. With about eight months to go for another global event, this time in Australia, India have handful of games to figure out their best possible side to pose a threat to the likes of England, Australia and New Zealand.
1st T20I: India, West Indies look to set the template for T20 World Cup
In KL Rahul's absence, India have the opportunity to try out a new opening partner for skipper RohitKOLKATA: Two days after the mega IPL auction and following on the heels of a lopsided ODI series, it won't be easy for the three-match T20I series between India and the West Indies to catch the eyeballs. However, it might be a good opportunity for both sides to set the template about how they will approach the shortest format of the game looking ahead to the T20 World Cup in Australia in eight months. West Indies will look no further than the Eden Gardens, the venue of this series, to seek inspiration to stage a comeback. It was here that they claimed the double crown on the same day in 2016 when their men's and women's sides lifted the ICC T20 World Cup.

India vs West Indies: For Rohit Sharma, it's time to get the backups ready

"We are trying to find those holes that are there in the squad and fill those gaps. So whatever it takes, we will try and do that," he said on Tuesday. "I feel the word experimentation is over-rated, in my terms" he added.
