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.

Batting coach Rathour prefers Rishabh Pant in the middle-order for West Indies T20IsKOLKATA: It's almost eight months to the next T20 World Cup and the Indian team management has the global event in mind as they begin the three-match T20 International series against the West Indies at the Eden Gardens here on Wednesday.

Champions League: Kylian Mbappe's only focus will be on knocking out Real Madrid, says Carlo Ancelotti
Carlo Ancelotti has dismissed any suggestion that Kylian Mbappe's focus on Tuesday's Champions League last-16 first leg between Real Madrid and Paris St Germain could be affected by a potential move to the Spanish side. PSG turned down an offer of around 160 million euros ($180.98 million) from Real for Mbappe last August, even though the player had less than a year left on his contract. The France striker, 23, is widely expected to move to Real on a free transfer at the end of this season after resisting an offer to sign a new contract with PSG. "Every player in the game will be 100% focused on knocking out a team who can compete with them to win the Champions League," Real coach Ancelotti told a news conference on Monday before the fixture at the Parc des Princes. "Mbappe will be thinking the same as Karim Benzema or Vinicius. Everyone has the same aim." Ancelotti said he will wait until the day of the game before deciding whether or not to start top scorer Benzema, who has been out of action for three weeks with a hamstring injury but returned to training on Sunday and was selected in the squad.
