Having swept the three-match ODI series 3-0, India will now aim to bolster their T20 credentials when they take on the West Indies in the opening T20I of the three-match series at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Wednesday. Last year, India failed to reach the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup. With about eight months to go for the next edition of the tournament, 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. Skipper Rohit Sharma will be keen to try out different options in this series against the West Indies.
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.
