🏏 India West Indies : 1st T20 🏏 - Page 2

We are moments away from play!

The players stride out to the middle for their respective national anthems. It will be the West Indies national anthem first, followed by the national anthem of India.
Ishan Kishan is in for a chat. He says, the bidding hangover is done and adds Rahul Dravid sir helped them to get their focus back on the series. Mentions, he is the happiest when he opens the innings, but with the situation in the side, he is happy to play in whichever order he is required. Mentions, the thought of cementing a spot in the T20I World Cup squad do cross his mind but says, the skipper and the coach have given them plenty of freedom to express themselves on the field.
Kieron Pollard says that toss is 50-50 and you gotta bat and bat well. He says that he had a slight niggle but feels fine now. He mentions that they try to stay in the present and he is happy for guys who got picked up in the auction but now this is the series that matters and wants to focus on that. Informs that Holder got hit in practice and Chase will take his spot. He adds that it is a high-scoring ground but cannot quite comment on what a par score might be.
Rohit Sharma says they will bowl first here. Says, he does not want to comment much on the pitch as it has always behaved differently. Mentions, they just need to keep ticking the boxes as the T20 World Cup comes closer. Adds, playing with a side like West Indies will always keep them on their toes. Says, Ishan will open the batting and Ravi Bishnoi is set to make his T20I debut.
West Indies (Playing XI) - Kyle Mayers, Brandon King, Nicholas Pooran (WK), Rovman Powell, Kieron Pollard (C), Roston Chase, Fabian Allen, Romario Shepherd, Odean Smith, Akeal Hosein and Sheldon Cottrell.
India (Playing XI) - Rohit Sharma (C), Ishan Kishan, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant (WK), Venkatesh Iyer, Deepak Chahar, Harshal Patel, Ravi Bishnoi (On debut), Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Yuzvendra Chahal.
TOSS - Up goes the flip of the coin and it lands in favor of India. They have decided to BOWL first.

Team India players and management,both know ,that WI isn't in their best form,team India ke kuch important players bhi ya toh unavailable hai ya unko rest diya hai,so why aren't they making the best use of this opportunity...

Jaise bowlers mein alag alag players ko rotate kar rahe hai,why aren't they doing the same with batsman?⭐️

Ab toh WI ek alag hi team ho gayi hai, hardly kisi player ko squad mein se jaanti hu🤪

I hope this is going to be a high scoring match with lots of 6s and 4s.
