India will enter the contest as favourites. Despite the likes of KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Jasprit Bumrah and Shreyas Iyer missing as they continue to recover from respective injuries, India are a force to reckon with. Indians have recently won the Test series and would like to carry the form and momentum into the ODIs. Kohli is also the leading run-scorer in all India vs West Indies ODIs.
Kohli has 2261 runs in ODIs vs West Indies, meaning he clearly enjoys playing against them. Second in the list is India captain Rohit Sharma, who has 1601 runs followed by the great Sachin Tendulkar (1573 runs), Desmond Haynes (1357 runs) and current India head coach Rahul Dravid (1348 runs).
All eyes will be on the likes of Umran Malik, Suryakumar Yadav as well. These two have the big opportunity to impress the selectors. In absence of Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj, Umran’s role become even more important. Jaydev Unadkat is also in the side and he is certain to get a game now that Siraj has returned to India citing some slight injury concern. Suryakumar Yadav knows this is his last chance to revive his ODI career. He should look to score at least one century to give a sweet headache to the selectors.
