The Indian cricket team is currently locking horns with West Indies, having already earned a 3-0 whitewash in the ODI series. The Men in Blue are now slated to face the Caribbean side in a three-match T20I series, which begins from February 16 at the Eden Gardens, before moving to Lucknow to face the Sri Lankans. India won the ODI series on the back of some dominating performance over the visitors, as West Indies failed to cross the 200-run mark even in a single match. 

Despite the fact that India’s batting line-up didn’t fire fully up to its potential, Rohit Sharma looked fierce as a captain whenever the team came out to bowl. Rohit made crucial strategic decisions and field changes on a regular basis to help his bowlers to take wickets. The India bowling line-up led by the likes of Praisdh Krishna, and Mohammed Siraj reaped apart the Caribbean batting line-up in the absence of regular pacers like Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami.
