India ekdum balanced team ke sath West Indies ke khilaf paanch matches ki T20I series khelne ke liye taiyar hai, jiska pehla match 6 October ko Lucknow me khela jayega. Ye India vs West Indies T20I series desh ke paanch alag-alag venues par aayojit hogi. Iske baad baki ke matches 9 October ko Ranchi me, 11 October ko Indore me, 14 October ko Hyderabad me aur aakhri match 17 October ko Bengaluru me khela jayega. Ye saare T20 matches Caribbean team ke khilaf hone wali teen matches ki ODI series ke turant baad shuru honge.
16 September 2026 ko announce hui is T20I squad ki kamaan Shreyas Iyer ko saunpi gayi hai. Puri series ke liye select ki gayi is 15-member team me Tilak Varma ko vice-captain banaya gaya hai. Team ka ye selection aane wale international matches ko dhyan me rakhte hue short format ke prati India ki naye approach ko saaf dikhata hai.
Top order: Sanju Samson (WK), Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan
Sanju Samson se is series me innings ki shuruat karne aur wicketkeeping ki zimmedari nibhane ki umeed hai, jinhone Afghanistan ke khilaf pichli series me kamaal ka comeback kiya tha. Is wicketkeeper-batter ne teen matches me do behtareen half-centuries lagayi thi. Unke sath Abhishek Sharma aur Ishan Kishan top-order me batting karenge, jo shuruat se hi aggressive batting ka option dete hain. Ye trio T20I format me India ke batting lineup ki mazboot neev taiyar karta hai. Abhishek Sharma ka zikr yahan behad zaroori hai, kyunki unhe Afghans ke khilaf Player of the Series ka award mila tha. Unki pichle T20I me banayi gayi 30-ball ki record-breaking century ko bhala kaun bhool sakta hai.
Middle order: Shreyas Iyer (C), Tilak Varma, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel
Captain Shreyas Iyer middle-order me number 4 par batting ke liye utrenge. Unka pichla tour Afghanistan ke khilaf thoda shant raha tha, jahan unhone teen matches me sirf 133.33 ke strike rate se 48 runs banaye the. Wahi Tilak Varma bhi middle-order me apna asar chhodne ki poori koshish karenge. Team me depth aur finishing touch dene ke liye Nitish Kumar Reddy aur Shivam Dube ko shamil kiya gaya hai. Nitish ne apni bowling me kamaal ka sudhaar kiya hai aur wo Afghanistan series me sabse zyada wickets lene wale bowler rahe the. Iske alawa Axar Patel apne all-round talent ke sath batting unit ko poora karte hain, jo middle overs me batting aur bowling dono ka shandaar vikalp dete hain.
Lower order aur bowlers: Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Mayank Yadav
Bowling department me leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi lead spinner honge, jabki new ball se attack karne ke liye Arshdeep Singh aur pace option ke taur par Mayank Yadav maujood rahenge. Mayank Yadav Afghanistan ke khilaf hui T20I series miss karne ke baad ek baar phir India ki squad me wapas laute hain. Ye bowling combination India ko match ke alag-alag phases me kayi tarah ke options deta hai. Ravi Bishnoi is mauke ka poora fayda uthana chahenge, kyunki premier spinner Varun Chakaravarthy injury ki wajah se filhal team se bahar chal rahe hain.
Predicted XI India’s T20I series versus West Indies ke liye: Sanju Samson (WK), Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Shreyas Iyer (C), Tilak Varma, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Mayank Yadav.
