West Indies will be looking for a consolation win today after losing all three ODIs and the previous two T20Is. Nicholas Pooran and Rovman Powell almost got them a win in the second T20I but India held to their nerves to clinch a thrilling win. Let’s expect another great game today.
Rohit Sharma already had his plate full with planning for two white-ball World Cups. Now, Test cricket has been added to it. It is of some concern because the Indian team isn’t in the best of health in the longer format.
