SKY, Umran & Tilak Varma reaches Caribbean for IND vs WI ODIs & T20Is

Team India stars have started gathering up in the Caribbean for India vs West Indies (IND vs WI) ODI and T20I series. As of latest, SuryaKumar Yadav, Umran Malik, Kuldeep Yadav, and Tilak Varma have landedfor the white-ball series vs West Indies.

SuryaKumar Yadav and Kuldeep Yadav were spotted together inside the plane. While Umran Malik also posted his photos clearly indicating that the express Jammu and Kashmir pacer is on his way to the Island nation.

Tilak Varma posted a happy picture with his family in Hyderabad. In the picture, Tilak could be seen with his carry bags, kit bags, and his husky-breed dog.

India ODI Squad: Rohit Sharma (Captain), Shubman Gill, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Virat Kohli, SuryaKumar Yadav, Sanju Samson (wicket-keeper), Ishan Kishan (wicket-keeper), Hardik Pandya (vice-captain), Shardul Thakur, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Jaydev Unadkat, Mohd. Siraj, Umran Malik, Mukesh Kumar.

IND vs WI ODI: Highlight of Tour

The India vs WI ODI series is anticipated to dominate the IND vs WI calendar. This is particularly true during a World Cup year. For the IND vs WI series, Rohit Sharma is leading a reasonably good ODI side. Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, and Yuzvendra Chahal are among the players in the team.

Samson has been called up to replace Rahul Dravid, who is recovering from a thigh injury incurred during the IPL. Samson might keep wickets, freeing up Ishan Kishan to concentrate on his batting. Surprisingly, the team has four starters, with Ruturaj Gaikwad among them.

The absence of Shami among the bowlers would place the onus of the attack on Mohammed Siraj. Unadkat, Thakur, and Malik are among the other new ball operators. Mukesh Kumar, the sole uncapped player, may not appear in any ODI between India and WI in 2023.

Important Players

1) Virat Kohli has a terrific batting record in the Caribbeans. Kohli has 790 runs at an average of 71.81 in 15 One-Day Internationals. He has smashed 4 hundred.

2) Skipper Rohit Sharma has scored 406 runs at an average of 45.11 in 14 matches. His runs include an 86-run high score.

India vs WestIndies: T20I Squad

Tilak Varma and Yashasvi Jaiswal have made India’s 15-man team for the five-match T20I series against the West Indies, which begins on August 3.

Except for granting the two IPL 2023 sensations their first India call-ups, Ajit Agarkar, the BCCI’s newly-appointed head of selectors, hasn’t given the Hardik Pandya-led T20I set-up too many chances.

Jaiswal accomplished a trifecta by being named in the 20-overs squad after already being selected in the Test and ODI teams, while Varma has been rewarded for great back-to-back seasons with the Mumbai Indians.

On predicted lines, neither Virat Kohli nor Rohit Sharma have a place as India attempts to make a transitional change beginning with T20Is in preparation for the World Cup next year.

India’s T20I squad: Ishan Kishan (Wicketkeeper), Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Tilak Varma, Surya Kumar Yadav (Vice-captain), Sanju Samson (Wicketkeeper), Hardik Pandya (Captain), Axar Patel, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Umran Malik, Avesh Khan, Mukesh Kumar.
