India endured a torrid time on its recent tour of South Africa. They lost the Test series by a 2-1 margin and then suffered a 3-0 whitewash against the Proteas in the ODI series. Nevertheless, all of that is now a thing of the past, and India must look forward to the upcoming white-ball home series against West Indies.

India will be playing three ODIs and as many T20 internationals, starting from 6th February 2022. Rohit Sharma’s stint as a full-time captain in T20 internationals began in the recent series against New Zealand. India won all three matches played in that series.

The upcoming three-match T20 series against West Indies will be his next T20 assignment as the captain of the Indian Cricket Team. The first T20 international is scheduled to be played on 16th February 2022, while the second and third T20I will be played on 18th and 20th February respectively.

In this article, let’s take a look at three Indian bowlers with the most wickets against West Indies in T20 internationals.

Ravindra Jadeja is a mainstay in India’s T20 team. In his T20 cricket career so far, he has managed to pick 46 wickets in 55 matches at an average of 27.2. Jadeja has picked the most wickets by an Indian bowler against West Indies in T20 internationals.

Kuldeep Yadav is no longer India’s scheme of things in any format of the game. However, he was an integral cog in India’s white-ball set-up before the completion of the ICC World Cup 2019 for more than two years.

There aren’t a lot of bowlers who are as skilful as Kuldeep Yadav. A left-arm wrist spinner is a rarity in international cricket and India, luckily, is blessed with one. During his stint in international cricket, Kuldeep Yadav was as effective in home conditions as he was overseas.

Kuldeep Yadav has a pretty good record against West Indies in T20 internationals. He has played 4 matches against them and has managed to pick 8 wickets at an average of 15.50.
