India and West Indies teams will face each other on October 14 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. Abhishek Sharma is likely to be rested, while 15-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi may get a chance in the playing XI.
The first three matches of the five-match T20I series between India and West Indies have been completed, with the hosts currently leading the series 2-1. All eyes are now on the crucial fourth T20I. India Vs West Indies 4th T20I Playing XI: Abhishek Sharma Out, Vaibhav Suryavanshi In.
The two teams will face each other on October 14 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. While Team India will look to seal the series with one match still remaining, West Indies will fight hard to win the fourth T20I and keep their hopes alive.
With both teams having a lot at stake, the upcoming match is expected to be a thrilling contest. Following the third T20I in Indore, the Indian team is likely to make some major changes. According to reports, a strong playing XI has been predicted for India’s fourth T20I against West Indies.
On paper, India have looked like a dominant side throughout the series against West Indies. Several key players have been waiting on the bench despite being part of the squad. Sanju Samson has struggled in two of the three matches played so far.
However, head coach Gautam Gambhir continues to show confidence in the wicketkeeper-batter. Meanwhile, Abhishek Sharma has impressed with his explosive batting performances, but he could miss out on a place in the playing XI for the fourth T20I.
Abhishek Sharma has been playing continuous cricket for the last two years. Considering workload management, the team management is likely to give him rest for the fourth match and hand a place in the playing XI to 15-year-old batting sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi.
Another possible change could see star pacer Arshdeep Singh being rested for the fourth T20I. After his match-winning performance in the previous game, the team management may decide to give him a break and place more trust in young fast bowlers Prince Yadav and Mayank Yadav.
India’s Probable Playing XI for 4th T20I vs West Indies:
Shreyas Iyer (captain), Sanju Samson (wicketkeeper), Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Ishan Kishan, Tilak Varma, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Naman Dhir, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Prince Yadav, Mayank Yadav.
