India's Predicted XI vs West Indies, 3rd T20I: Will Sanju Samson Make Way For Yashasvi Jaiswal?

After facing two back-to-back defeats in the ongoing five-match series, Team India will be taking on West Indies in the third T20I match on Tuesday. India will need to bat with the fearlessness they often talk about as they look to avoid a series defeat. The slow pitches on offer have not been the best for batting but as skipper Hardik Pandya pointed out after the loss on Sunday, India should have a found way to score additional 10-20 runs.

On Going For Tattoos, Tilak Verma Reveals Coach's Advice To First Reach A 'Particular Level'

Young Indian batter Tilak Varma said that he wants to perform well, give his 100 per cent and focus on his basics and strengths during his first-ever international series against West Indies. Tilak is part of the T20I Indian side which is playing the five-match series against West Indies at the Caribbean. The second T20I will take place on Sunday in Guyana. India is trailing 0-1 in the series. Tilak had scored a solid 39 in 22 balls in his debut T20I.

Between Ishan Kishan And KL Rahul, 1983 World Cup Winner Has A Clear Choice For Wicketkeeper's Slot

On choosing between KL Rahul, Sanju Samson and Ishan Kishan as a wicketkeeper for World Cup, 1983 World Cup winner Madan Lal has said, "It is quite a debate. The thing with Rahul is that he has just recovered, he will play matches, we will get to know about his form. Maybe we can send two wicketkeepers for the World Cup, KL Rahul and Ishan. Ishan is playing really well and has made a case for himself. We will see how Rahul plays. According to me, the team management will go with Rahul."

India's Top-Order Under Pressure In Must-Win Game, Spinners Need To Stop Nicholas Pooran's Attack

India will need to bat with the fearlessness they often talk about as they look to avoid a series defeat in the third T20 International against the West Indies in Guyana on Tuesday. The slow pitches on offer have not been the best for batting but as skipper Hardik Pandya pointed out after the loss on Sunday, India should have a found way to score additional 10-20 runs. India, who last lost to the West Indies in a bilateral T20 series back in 2016, trail 0-2 in the five-match series. The shortest format demands the batters to go hard from ball one and that is something India's top-order, comprising Ishan Kishan, Shubman Gill and Suryakumar Yadav, have not been able to do.

Watch: Ishan Kishan Tries To Outsmart West Indies Batter, Ends Up Waiting Too Long

Ishan Kishan tried to outsmart Rovman Powell from behind the stumps but ended up waiting a bit too long before taking the bails off during the second T20I match between India and West Indies in Guyana on Sunday. During the 7th over of the match, Ravi Bishnoi bowled a delivery wide off leg stump but Kishan was able to collect it properly. However, he held his position and waited for Powell to lift his leg so that he can try the stumping. However, when he ended up dislodging the bails, it was a bit too late as the batter was already back in his crease and his plan did not materialise in the way that he would have wanted.

On ODI World Cup, Ex-Pakistan's Star's Stern Warning To Team India

Indian batters are known for their ability to tackle spinners, something which has been missing of late, according to former Pakistan captain Salman Butt. Following India's defeat to West Indies in the first T20I, Butt urged the team management to address the issue. The visitors won the ODI series 2-1 last week, but lost the T20I opener in the absence of senior pros like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Butt feels that the current crop of players have not been able to cement their supremacy, when it comes to tackling spinners.

India vs West Indies: Stats Reveal Worrying Factor For Hardik Pandya And Co Ahead Of 2nd T20I

Nicholas Pooran looked in top form as he slammed 41 off just 34 deliveries in the first T20I encounter between India and West Indies in Tarouba. He came into the match on the back of a successful Major Cricket League (MLC) campaign and he looked quite comfortable against the Indian bowling attack. The action now shifts to Providence Stadium in Guyana - a ground where Pooran has been quite successful in the past couple of games. In the last ODI he played at this venue, Pooran scored 73 against Bangladesh in 2022. During the same tour, West Indies face Bangladesh in a T20I match in Guyana and Pooran was once again the star as he scored 74 off 39 balls with five four and five sixes. India trail 0-1 in the five-match series and if the trend continues, Pooran can prove to be a major problem for the visitors.

Ishan Kishan Out? Ex-India Star Wants This Batter As Replacement In 2nd T20I

As Team India look to level the five-match T20I series against West Indies, former batter Wasim Jaffer wants visitors to include Yashasvi Jaiswal in the XI for the second ODI at the Providence Stadium in Guyana. Jaffer also raised concerns over Ishan Kishan's form in the shortest format, pointing out that the wicketkeeper-batter hasn't scored a 50 in his last 15 innings. While highlighting Jaiswal's recent form, Jaffer wants the management to replace him with Kishan in the playing XI.
