India vs West Indies: India’s Predicted Playing XI Against West Indies- West Indies Tour of India 2022, 3rd T20I

Rohit Sharma (C)

Rohit Sharma will lead the team in India vs West Indies 3rd T20I. He has done a great job as a captain so far as India has managed to defeat West Indies in both games. The Indian skipper has scored 59 runs in 2 games so far. He hit a quickfire knock of 40 in the 1st T20I.

Ruturaj Gaikwad

Considering Ishan Kishan’s struggles in the opening slot in the first couple of matches of the IND vs WI T20I series, Ruturaj Gaikwad can open alongside Rohit Sharma in the final T20I. Ishan Kishan can be sent lower down the order in the absence of Rishabh Pant in the last T20I of the series. Ruturaj has been in fine form of late as he ended IPL 2021 as the highest run-scorer and had a magnificent run in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2021.

Suryakumar Yadav

Since Virat Kohli has left the squad and returned home, he will not be available for the India vs West Indies 3rd T20I. Hence, the team might keep Suryakumar Yadav at the no.3 spot. The right-handed batsman slammed unbeaten 34 runs to help India win the 1st match. In the 2nd T20I, Yadav could only score 8 runs.

Ishan Kishan (WK)

Ishan Kishan will be the other opener for the team in India vs West Indies 3rd T20I. The left-handed batsman has not managed to showcase his dominant batting style in the two games. He scored 35 in the 1st game and 2 runs in the second. He will look for a big knock in the 3rd T20I.

Shreyas Iyer

Shreyas Iyer might be picked in to replace Virat Kohli in the squad. The right-handed batsman played a fabulous knock of 80 runs in India vs West Indies 3rd T20I. Iyer was kept out of the first two games but he will be aiming for an astonishing knock in the 3rd T20I.

Venkatesh Iyer

Venkatesh Iyer might be the all-rounder that India picks in India vs West Indies 3rd T20I. In the last match, he played a superb knock of 33 runs. In the first T20I too, he played a good knock of unbeaten 24 runs. Iyer has shown good form in the series so far and will be given another opportunity.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Bhuvneshwar Kumar might be picked as one of the pacers in India vs West Indies 3rd T20I. In the absence of Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah, Bhuvi is an experienced pacer in the squad. In the last match, he bowled an amazing second last over, giving just 5 runs when West Indies needed 29 off 2 overs. The right-arm bowler has picked 2 wickets in 2 games so far.

Harshal Patel

Harshal Patel might be another pacer for the team in India vs West Indies 3rd T20I. With 2 wickets in 2 games so far in the series, Patel has done a decent job. The right-arm pacer did a good job in the final over in the previous match when he defended 24 runs to bring home victory for India.

Avesh Khan

Avesh Khan might get a chance to debut for India in the 3rd T20I against West Indies. Khan has been part of quite a few bilateral series in the past but is yet to play his first international game. The right-arm pacer has done a decent job in IPL 2021 and domestic cricket. With India already winning the series 2-0, the team might try Avesh Khan instead of Deepak Chahar in the next game.

Ravi Bishnoi

Ravi Bishnoi might be one of the spinners for the team in India vs West Indies 3rd T20I. The leg spinner has picked 3 wickets in the series so far. The right-arm bowler also won the player of the match award in the 1st T20I. Bishnoi might get another chance in playing XI as he is doing a good job.

Yuzvendra Chahal

Yuzvendra Chahal might be another spinner that the team can pick in the match. Chahal has done a good job so far in the series, picking 2 wickets in 2 games. He picked 1 wicket in both games. Chahal is an experienced spinner for the team and his presence will strengthen India’s spin attack in the match.
