After a comfortable victory in the Tests and the 3-match ODI series, the Men in Blue were pretty confident moving into the 5-match T20I series against the Caribbeans. However, the tables turned in the first match as West Indies successfully defended a modest score of 149 runs in the West Indies vs India series.
The addition of Nicholas Pooran and Rovman Powell changed the game for the Windies. When Yuzvendra Chahal took two wickets in three balls, in came Nicky P and started hitting the ball out of the park. Later on, Powell joined the party and rowed the Windies’ boat to 149 runs in 20 overs.
If there’s one thing we learnt from India’s batting in the 1st T20I is that Tilak Varma is a natural and has a lot of potential to become a mainstay player in the blue jersey. The youngster nabbed two epic catches and was also the highest-scoring Indian in the first match with 39 runs in his bag.
With an unexpected setback in the first match, the Men in Blue might experiment with their squad by adding Yashasvi Jaiswal to the mix and overpower the top order. On the other hand, Pooran’s impeccable form alongside the brilliance of Jason Holder and Rovman Powell will make the lives difficult for the visitors.
