India will host West Indies for the first T20I of the three-match series, all of which will be played at Eden Gardens in Kolkata. India won the ODI series by 3-0.
In the absence of K.L. Rahul, one of Ruturaj Gaikwad or Ishan Kishan will open the innings, along with Rohit Sharma. Suryakumar Yadav is likely to come at No. 4, while Yuzvendra Chahal will be the main spinner.
West Indies, on the other hand, will be boosted by the return of Kieron Pollard, who missed the last two ODIs. Dominic Drakes is likely to play ahead of Sheldon Cottrell.
