The India vs West Indies Test series was one-sided with Virat Kohli-led side dominating throughout the four matches before winning it 2-0. But, when the two sides meet in Florida, USA, in a hastily arranged two-match T20 series, India will face a completely different West Indies.
In Test cricket, West Indies have been stragglers for a long time now and often fail to put up a fight against strong nations. However, when it comes to T20 cricket, West Indies are a powerhouse with some of the best short-format cricketers in their ranks. In the last six years, they have won two World T20 titles, including the recent one that they won in India beating the home side in the semifinals.
Both the teams have added a few T20 specialists in their squads. Have a look:
India's Squad: Mahendra Singh Dhoni (C), Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, K L Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Umesh Yadav, Amit Mishra, Stuart Binny.
West Indies' Squad: Carlos Brathwaite (captain), Andre Fletcher, Andre Russell, Chris Gayle, Dwayne Bravo, Evin Lewis, Jason Holder, Johnson Charles, Kieron Pollard, Lendl Simmons, Marlon Samuels, Samuel Badree, Sunil Narine.
