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.
