Mukesh Kumar has impressed a lot with the white ball after the red one.
The five-match T20 series between India and West Indies will now kick off from Thursday, August 3. The first match of this series will take place at the same Taroba ground where the third ODI was contested. The India team had played the only T20 match at this ground exactly one year ago in which they recorded a comfortable win over West Indies by 68 runs. In that match, the Indian team scored a score of 190 runs and captain Rohit Sharma played an innings of 64 runs off 44 balls in that match. But this time Rohit Sharma is not part of the team and Hardik Pandya is the captain. Apart from this, some young players are also included in this team. Two of these made their international debut in the Test series.

These two players ready to debut in T20
Actually we are talking about Yashasvi Jaiswal and Mukesh Kumar. Both players made their debut in the Test series. Yashasvi played a brilliant innings of 171 runs in his debut match. After that, he also scored a half century in the next match. On the other hand, Mukesh Kumar, who made his debut in the second Test, got off to a great start to his career by taking two wickets. After that, Mukesh had a chance in all three matches of the ODI series and after the red ball, he also showcased his talents in white ball cricket. Now it is the turn of the T20 series where both players can be considered ready to debut. Both were selected in Team India only after IPL 2023.
The Mumbai Indians player will have to wait
Where Yashasvi Jaiswal and Mukesh Kumar may have a chance to debut in the first T20. At the same time, Tilak Verma, the star batsman of Mumbai Indians, who was selected in the India team for the first time, will have to wait for the opportunity from him. We tell you that by adding Hardik Pandya to the squad of 15 players selected for the T20 series against West Indies, the team has 7 batsmen. Of which we can consider 6 as fixed to play in the first ODI. At the same time, along with Akshar Patel, Yuzvendra Chahal can be seen handling the responsibility of the yarn department in the T20 series. Arshdeep Singh, Umran Malik/Avesh Khan, Mukesh Kumar can take responsibility for rhythm drums. In such a situation, Tilak Verma may have to wait for a few matches. But there is a five-match series, if the India team wins the first two matches and Hardik rests due to workload, then Tilak may have a chance to debut in the middle of the series.
