Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma Out; Yashasvi Jaiswal in: India’s Predicted Playing XI For T20Is vs West Indies

Trinidad: After getting the better of West Indies in the three-match ODI series, India get ready to take on the hosts in the T20Is. With the first game set to be played in the next 48 hours, there is not much time for both camps to prepare. In all probability, looking at the ‘bigger picture’ – India will field a young team. With no Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, a few youngsters would be in line to make a debut. Yashavi Jaiswal, who has had a dream season, could be in line to feature in the opening T20I. India would still be a solid unit despite missing their big stars.

Tilak Varma may have to wait for a national debut after a dream domestic season.

India’s Playing XI: Ishan Kishan (wk), Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Surya Kumar Yadav (vc), Sanju Samson (wk), Hardik Pandya (c), Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Umran Malik, Arshdeep Singh, Mukesh Kumar

India’s T20I squad: Ishan Kishan (wk), Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Tilak Varma, Surya Kumar Yadav (vc), Sanju Samson (wk), Hardik Pandya (c), Axar Patel, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Umran Malik, Avesh Khan, Mukesh Kumar.
