Ind vs WI: Yuzvendra Chahal set to overtake R Ashwin and Jasprit Bumrah 

Indian leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal will be in the spotlight in the first match of the series. This is mainly because Chahal is just three wickets away from making a record in T20Is. If he manages to pick up three wickets in the first match, he will become the highest wicket-taker in T20 internationals for India. Chahal is on the third position with 50 wickets from 34 matches. Ravichandran Ashwin leads the list with 52 wickets while birthday boy Jasprit Bumrah is second on the list with 51 wickets.

India vs West Indies T20I series

West Indies would be looking for revenge after being dismantled by India 3-0 in their own backyard in August.

They lost the T20I series 2-1, which has certainly dented their confidence, coming into the series. The Kieron Pollard-led side has a big task ahead as they face arguably the best team in the world right now and the Windies will be hoping to put up a good show in the series.
