West Indies vs India 2023, 1st T20I – Stats Preview

West Indies will square off against India at the Brian Lara Stadium, Tarouba, Trinidad on Thursday. Both teams will be looking to get off to a good start in the series and they will want to tick the right boxes as a unit. It will be a great opportunity for the young talent of both teams to grab their chances and seal their place in the team.

Yashasvi Jaiswal had taken Test cricket like fish to water and he will be looking to make a similar start to his T20I career. Furthermore, there will be opportunities for players like Tilak Varma, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, and Mukesh Kumar, who will want to make the most of their chances.
