Hardik Pandya’s Team India will take on West Indies in the third T20I of the five-match series at the Providence Stadium in Guyana on Tuesday. India are still hunting for their first win in the T20I series after losing the opening two clashes in Trinidad and Guyana respectively.
It is a must-win game for the Indian cricket team if they hope to stay alive in the five-match T20I series as they are already 0-2 down after 2 matches. West Indies have won back-to-back T20I matches against India for the first time since 2016.
Team India will look to make a couple of changes, the first one at the top of the order with both Shubman Gill and Ishan Kishan struggling in T20I cricket. Mumbai and Rajasthan Royals opener Yashasvi Jaiswal could be handed a T20I debut after making a sensational start to his Test career against West Indies last month.
Kuldeep Yadav, who missed the last match after taking a blow on his hands in the nets, could make a comeback for the third game – replacing Ravi Bishnoi in the line-up. India will once again count on the form of youngster Tilak Varma, who has been in top form since making his international debut in the first T20I match last week.
