India Playing XI T20 Series 2022, India vs West Indies Playing XI Team

India vs West Indies T20 Playing XI: With the series already in their bag, India will have the liberty to experiment in the third and final T20I against the West Indies in Kolkata on Sunday. With Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant given a 10-day break, the home team is set to finally include the gifted Shreyas Iyer and Ruturaj Gaikwad in the playing XI.
In the absence of KL Rahul, Ishan Kishan has failed to impress at the top of the order and his place could be given to the talented Gaikwad, who has been warming the bench until now.
In the middle-order, Shreyas will replace Kohli, who has been given a much-needed break ahead of his landmark 100th Test.
Shreyas, who was the third biggest buy at the IPL auction but could not fit into India’s T20 combination for the first two matches against the West Indies, will be the obvious choice.
Recently appointed as Kolkata Knight Riders skipper, Shreyas had played a match-winning knock during the ODI in Ahmedabad, and he would look to grab the opportunity of playing at the Eden Gardens — his new “home ground”.

It remains to be seen whether Rohit would look to alter his bowling combination bringing in Mohammed Siraj. The uncapped Avesh Khan, too, gives him an option. Khan recently became the most expensive uncapped Indian player in the hory of the IPL auction after being picked Lucknow Supergiants for 10 crore.
