The highly anticipated five-match T20I series between Team India, captained by the dynamic all-rounder Hardik Pandya, and the hosts West Indies is just around the corner. As the excitement builds up, the Men In Blue gathered for a photo session donning their brand-new adidas T20I jerseys ahead of the series opener on Thursday. The atmosphere was electric as the Indian team, comprising talented players like Ishan Kishan, Umran Malik, Sanju Samson, Arshdeep Singh, Suryakumar Yadav, Axar Patel, and others, exuded enthusiasm and joy during the shoot.

The players’ spirits were soaring, and it was evident that they were all geared up to put up a formidable performance against the West Indies on their home turf. Led by the charismatic Hardik Pandya, the Indian squad looked united and ready to take on any challenge that comes their way. During the photo session, the Indian team had the opportunity to interact and bond with some of the Caribbean stars, adding to the excitement and camaraderie between the two cricketing nations.
Once again, Team India is expected to be the clear favorites in the upcoming T20I series against the West Indies. The series will offer a perfect opportunity for young talents to showcase their skills and make a mark on the international stage. In the preceding three-match 50-over series, which carried significant context in the year of the ODI World Cup, India managed to secure a 2-1 victory despite a surprising defeat in the second match. This success will undoubtedly boost the confidence of the Indian team as they enter the T20 series.
On the other hand, the Windies are facing some challenges as they head into the series. They have recently experienced defeats in both the Test and ODI series, which may affect their morale. Although T20 cricket is considered their strong suit, they are expected to face a tough challenge against the formidable Indian side. To bolster their chances, the West Indies have made key additions to their 15-member squad, bringing back wicketkeeper-batter Shai Hope and fast bowler Oshane Thomas. The leadership responsibilities will lie in the hands of Rovman Powell.
