Whereas, India suffered a series defeat both in ODI and test series against South Africa.
Rohit Sharma, the new full time captain of India in white ball format will be leading the side at home. India won their 1000 ODI game easily by 6 wickets. Will India be repeat the same in T20I series against West Indies
Lets discuss the 7 players, whom we think will shine in T20I series
1) Jason Holder
Jason Holder performed exceptionally well and took the double hattrick in the series decider against England, which helped West Indies seal the series. Moreover, he took the most wickets in the series with a bowling average of 9.6. He can prove to be fatal for Indian batting side in T20I series.
2) Rohit Sharma
The senior player is back in a new avatar- slim and fitter, after recovering from hamstring injury. It will be Rohit Sharma’s first series as a permanent captain and we expect a lot of fireworks from his bat. He also scored a blistering knock scoring quick 60 in just 51 balls.

3) Nicholas Pooran
The young Caribbean, who was the highest run scorer with an average of 41 against England will be major threat to Indian bowlers. However, India have a better experience against him through IPL, which will definitely be a major factor.
4) Suryakumar Yadav
The batter was awarded the player of the series against Sri Lanka in his debut series. SKY scored 124 runs in 3 match ODI series. Therefore, we expect him to perform with consistency on this tour too.
5) Rovman Powell
The incredible batter who just destroyed the England bowling in three matches. He scored 147 runs with an average of 73.5. That is some kind of huge figures for a player. India needs to have plan A,B & C as well for him.
6) Rishabh Pant
Rishabh Pant is taking his graph of performance higher with every series. From 2021 Australia tour to South Africa, the batter has been phenomenal and we expect the same single handed six from his bat in this series.
7) Akeal Hosein
The spinner produced some marvelous spells against England, as he took 8 wickets. Moreover, India have been struggling against the spinners for a quite long time now and definitely West Indies would have noticed and planned accordingly against India.
