WI vs IND 1st T20 Dream11 Team Prediction

WI vs IND Match Preview

West Indies were blown away by India in the 3rd ODI by 200 runs who won the series 2-1. The focus now shifts to the T20 series which is expected to be far more competitive. West Indies are a formidable team in T20Is and the players are more used to playing shorter formats of the game.

Both India and West Indies have made multiple changes to their squad. Senior batters Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja and Rohit Sharma are not part of the T20I squad, with Tilak Varma, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ravi Bishnoi coming into the team.

For West Indies, Nicholas Pooran and Jason Holder will return to add much-needed firepower to the team.

WI vs IND Dream11 Top Fantasy Picks All Rounders, Batsman, Bowlers, Wicket Keepers

Ishan Kishan

Ishan Kishan had a great outing in the ODI series and went on to score half-centuries in all three games. Kishan will be disappointed that he failed to convert the starts into a century, however, he will be looking to do the same in the T20I series.

Sanju Samson

Sanju Samson got the opportunity to play the second and third ODI. He failed in the second ODI but blasted a brilliant half-century in the final game. Samson would be keen to carry the form in the T20I series.

Kuldeep Yadav

Kuldeep Yadav troubled the batters with his variations and it was tough to pick him. Kuldeep will have a chance to pick many more wickets in the T20I series as the format calls for aggressive play and it is not easy to hit a spinner like Yadav.

Nicholas Pooran

Nicholas Pooran will have to contribute heavily for West Indies as he is the only in-form batter in the team. Pooran recently scored a magnificent 137 for MI New York and helped the team win the inaugural Major League title.

Jason Holder

Jason Holder will be an important player for West Indies. Holder will add the much-needed depth to the Windies team and his four overs will be worth gold for the hosts.
