WI vs IND| 2nd T20I | Fantasy Tips
Rohit Sharma and Nicholas Pooran ahead of the 2nd T20I
After a clean sweep in the ODI series, India continued their dominance in the first match of the T20I series against the West Indies. The action now shifts to Basseterre, St. Kitts for the second match of the series.
The hosts will be keen to win the match and come back in the series, while the Men in Blue will try move a step closer to another series win in the shortest format of the game.
Ahead of the match let us pick up some important tips to have an advantage in the fantasy eleven competitions for this match.
Captain and Vice Captain Pick
Rohit Sharma: The Indian skipper had a good series opener as he scored 64 runs off 44 deliveries. Keeping in mind his record against the West Indians and the form he is in, Rohit might be a safe pick as a captain or vice-captain for the match.
Suryakumar Yadav: Suryakumar Yadav did not have the ideal start to the series as he got out after scoring 24 runs off 16 deliveries. But he has been in a great touch lately with a magnificent century under his belt against England.

It is not long that the man will stay away from runs so, he might be a very good pick as a captain or vice captain for the match.
Kyle Mayers: One of the main reasons the West Indian batting crumbled in the last match was because Mayers did not last long. He has been an important contributor with the bat for his team lately. Mayers will look to make up for his failure in the last match and hence can turn out to be good pick as a captain or vice captain.
Indian team gear up at the training session
Game Changers:
Dinesh Karthik: In the first match itself Karthik proved his worth playing a blistering knock towards the end of the Indian innings (41 off 19 balls). He has the capability to change the course of a match from any situation. Therefore he could be the X-factor for this match.
Nicholas Pooran: The West Indian skipper played some decent knocks for his team in the ODI series. The fact that he failed to perform in the first match will definitely push him to go bigger. Pooran does have strong hands and a game that is suitable for the shortest format of cricket. So, his presence in your eleven might well earn you some vital points.
Jason Holder in action
Jason Holder: Holder is the prime all-rounder of the West Indian team at the moment. He is more of a rhythm player and that was what was missing in his performance in the series opener. He will be intent on performing in the second match and if he does find his rhythm early he can be a game changer.
