The first game will be held at the Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba, Trinidad on Thursday. The second and third matches will be played in Guyana, while India will play their last two games in Florida.

India won the ODI series with a 200-run triumph in the decider. India has a dominant T20I record over West Indies, but there are three players in the Windies squad that India should be wary of in the T20I series.

Nicholas Pooran
Nicholas Pooran will go into the home series against India on a high after his performance in the Major League Cricket (MLC) 2023. He was the top scorer with 388 runs in eight matches at an average of 64.67 and a strike rate of 167.24. Pooran clobbered 137* off only 55 balls as MI New York beat Seattle Orcas in the final to win the inaugural MLC. Pooran has amazing talent, and he will be raring to have a go at the Indian bowlers after his stunning success in MLC 2023.
Shimron Hetmyer
Hetmyer had a bad ODI series against India, registering scores of 11, 4, and 9. He was bowled by Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav in the first and second games, respectively. Hetmyer’s horror ODI series ended in equally disappointing fashion as he chipped Shardul Thakur to cover in the third ODI. The senior member of the West Indies team will be disappointed with his returns in the ODI series. If McCoy finds his groove, he can be a big threat to India’s dominance in T20Is.
Obed McCoy
Left-arm pacers like Amir, Afridi, Boult, and Starc have troubled Indian batters. Obed McCoy also tasted success against India. McCoy’s best T20I figures of 6/17 were registered against India in Basseterre in August 2022. McCoy took the wickets of Rohit, Suryakumar, Jadeja, and Karthik before taking two lower-order wickets. McCoy has 38 T20I wickets at an average of 19.97 and a strike rate of 14.2. He will be keen to make an impact against India.
