New Delhi: In cricket, India will take on West Indies in the first One-Day International (ODI) of the three-match series, tomorrow at the Queen’s Park Oval, Port of Spain. The match will start at 7 PM IST.
In the absence of regular captain Rohit Sharma, opener Shikhar Dhawan will lead the team. Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, and Mohammad Shami have also been rested for the series.
Against a shaky West Indies batting line-up, India have a variety of options to choose from in their bowling attack. Dhawan’s deputy, Ravindrandra Jadeja is likely to team up with leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal in the spin department.
While Avesh Khan, Arshdeep Singh, Prasidh Krishna, Mohammed Siraj, and Shardul Thakur will lead the pace attack.
For the West Indies, the return of all-rounder Jason Holder is a big boost after being rested from white-ball matches against the Netherlands, Pakistan, and Bangladesh.
