IND vs WI Live Score: Yashasvi or Ishan?
As Ishan Kishan has been on the run since the Test series, the think tank might consider giving him some rest as they also have Sanju Samson as a wicketkeeping option.
If that is the case Yashasvi Jaiswal can come at the top and open the innings with Shubman Gill.
IND vs WI Live Score: Focus on future
The five-match T20 series provides India with a good window to check out the promising talents, who have been elevated to the national squad on the basis of their IPL performances.

All the T20I series, which have been played post the World Cup last year, didn’t feature senior pros Rohit Sharma or Virat Kohli in the squad. Hardik Pandya has mostly led the team and Jasprit Bumrah, who is making a comeback after a serious injury, will lead the side in the upcoming series against Ireland.
