The West Indies cricket team will arrive in India next month. A three-match ODI series will be played between the two teams starting on February 6. After this, both teams will play a three match T20I series. Captain Rohit Sharma will return to the team for this series. Alongside this, Shikhar Dhawan has also been selected in the team. KL Rahul has been given the vice captaincy. In such a situation, the question is who will open the tickets for India.
FYI, let us tell you that in the three-match ODI series against the West Indies, captain Rohit Sharma and 36-year-old Shikhar Dhawan will open the innings. They both have a great record in the opening. On the other hand, Dhawan had a stellar performance in the just concluded ODI series against South Africa.
The Rohit-Dhawan pair will open. At the same time, former captain Virat Kohli will play at number three. After this, batsman Rishabh Pant, vice-captain KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer will play in the middle order. While Deepak Chahar and Shardul Thakur can play the role of match finishers. Both players performed brilliantly in ODIs against South Africa.
If we talk about the yarn department, after a long time, you can see the couple from Kulcha in action. This means that the responsibility for the yarn department may fall to Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal. On the other hand, the famous Krishna may be the third bowler.
