After two consecutive failures, the senior players in the team Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik, Chahal, and Kuldeep, performed well in the third match to help India cross the finish line. There was belligerence in Surya’s batting, while Chahal and Kuldeep managed to spin a web on a helpful surface in Guyana. Hardik also marshaled his resources well and looked assured at the crease.
Now, it is about continuing with the same momentum in the next two T20Is. The pitches in the USA will also be on the slower side as was evidenced during MLC. So, India won’t be making too many changes from the third T20. Sanju Samson is expected to continue the wicketkeeping role, as India will give Yashasvi Jaiswal more chances as an opening batter. After three failures in T20Is, the pressure is mounting on Gill to score runs.
The Windies tour so far has been fruitful for the youngster as he has scored only one fifty. Pacers Arshdeep Singh and Mukesh Kumar are to be in the playing XI owing to their good performances in three T20Is.
