Recent ODI Form as Context
India and the West Indies have just completed a three match ODI series. India won the first two matches before West Indies won the third by five wickets in New Chandigarh on 3 October, leaving India with a 2-1 series victory.
The T20I series is a separate tournament with its own results, so the ODI outcome does not affect how the five T20Is will turn out. However, the final ODI win gives West Indies some confidence heading into the T20Is.
Squads and Players to Watch
Shreyas Iyer will take charge of the team in the T20I series. The squad features a good combination of experienced players and promising young players, including Sanju Samson, Ishan Kishan, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Arshdeep Singh, Shivam Dube, Ravi Bishnoi, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Mayank Yadav, Naman Dhir, Prince Yadav and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi.
Shai Hope will be in charge of the West Indies team and will also take responsibility for keeping wickets. The squad includes well known players such as Shimron Hetmyer, Rovman Powell, Roston Chase, Romario Shepherd and Akeal Hosein, as well as Gudakesh Motie, Sherfane Rutherford, Shamar Springer, Matthew Forde, Shamar Joseph, Kamil Pooran, Quentin Sampson and Jewel Andrew.
The final teams to play will be confirmed nearer to each match and may be altered. Neither of the squads should be regarded as the official starting eleven until the coin is tossed.
Head-to-Head Context
The ICC records show that India and the West Indies have altogether played 31 T20 matches, with India winning 20, the West Indies securing 10, and one game ending in a no-result. While past results do not determine a future series, the record provides useful context for this rivalry.
