India Aim To Win The Series Against The Struggling West Indies

India is leading the T-20I series by 1-0


India has already won the ODI series against West Indies by 3-0, under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. It was Rohit’s first series win as the captain.

Now, it looks like India will win the T-20 series against the West Indies as the hosts defeated them by 6 wickets. Rohit, Surya and Bishnoi helped team India to a comfortable victory.

India is 1 up in the T-20I series. The former World Champions (West Indies) are still struggling to find a victory against India.

The only concern for India has been Kohli's form and he would definitely want a bigger knock than the scores of 8, 18, 0, and 17 so far in the assignment.

Rohit is confident that he would come good and has asked both critics and media to spare him the constant scrutiny.

On his part, Rohit knows the importance of going hard in the power play, something that was in full display in his 19-ball 40 when he took Odean Smith to the cleaners in an over that conceded 22 runs.

With 
Ishan Kishan looking ordinary and struggling to get going at the other end, Rohit made the bulk of the 58 runs that India scored in the power play, something that meant they never fell behind the 158-run chase despite losing three quick wickets in the middle.

After Rohit got out in the eighth over, Kohli had the perfect opportunity to return among runs and seal the chase. But that was not the case even though Kohli looked fluent in his short stay of 13-ball 17.

On any other day his inside-out shot would have been a clear boundary but this time he hit straight to the fielder.

As for Ishan, the most expensive (Rs 15.25 crore) buy in the IPL 2022 auction.
