India had won gold in the Asian Games by defeating Pakistan 3 days ago. Now he has to play T-20 series against West Indies. The first match of the 5-match series will be played today at Ekana Stadium in Lucknow from 7 pm. 12 out of 14 Indian players of the Asian Games team are part of the squad for this series. In such a situation, travel and not getting enough rest time can create problems for many players. Apart from this, the biggest question before India will be regarding the opening combination. In this, it seems difficult for 15 year old Vaibhav Suryavanshi to play today. Why is it difficult to play Suryavanshi? Abhishek Sharma and Vaibhav Suryavanshi opened the Asian Games. Whereas Sanju Samson had landed at number-3. At that time India was playing mostly with all-rounders. Part time spinner like Abhishek Sharma also bowled well on the slow pitch of Japan. Now Ishan Kishan is likely to play at number 3 against West Indies. In such a situation, only two out of Abhishek, Samson and Suryavanshi can play in the playing-11. Abhishek-Samson are the first choice openers of the team. Therefore, Suryavanshi may have to wait for now. India did not lose a single match in Lucknow, so far 31 T-20 International matches have been played between the two teams. India has won 20 matches and West Indies has won 10 matches. One match remained inconclusive. India has not lost a single T20 match at the Ekana Stadium. India has won all three matches played here. Here India played its first match against West Indies in November 2018. India won the match by 71 runs. Ishaan, the only batsman to score a thousand runs this year, is in excellent form. The match will be played on West Indies’ Shimron Hetmyer pitch and Mausam Ekana’s center pitch number-5. It is a pitch consisting of a mixture of red and black soil. A lot of runs were scored on this ground in IPL 2026, so the batsmen are expected to get help. The practice session of both the teams was affected due to rain in Lucknow on Monday. However, there is no forecast of rain on the match day. Possible playing-11 of both the teams India: Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson, Ishan Kishan (wicketkeeper), Shreyas Iyer (captain), Tilak Verma, Shivam Dubey, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Mayank Yadav/Prince Yadav, Arshdeep Singh West Indies: Shai Hope (captain, wicketkeeper), Kamil Puran, Shimron Hetmyer, Rovman Powell, Sherfane Rutherford, Romario Shepherd, Shamar Springer, Akil Hossain, Gudakesh Moti, Shamar Joseph, Matthew Ford
