India's Predicted Playing XI for T20Is against West Indies

4. Suryakumar Yadav

Suryakumar Yadav recently scored a stunning century against England in the third T20I and his versatility in the middle order makes him a trump card in the Indian batting lineup. The right-hander has got the goods to deliver in tough situations and plays a lot of unorthodox shots which makes him a difficult campaigner to bowl at.

Suryakumar likes to use the pace of the bowlers and finds gaps in different parts of the field. He has the 360-degree shots in his book and his form is going to be crucial for India in the limited-overs setup. The 31-year-old had three failures in the ODI series against West Indies but the panic button is yet to be switched on.

Suryakumar has a strike rate of 177 in T20Is for India and he is one of the safest fielders going around. His calmness is one of the main attributes that India has been impressed with and the five T20Is against West Indies will be an excellent platform for him to get ready for the T20 World Cup.
