After India’s 22-run win (D/L method) over the West Indies which gave the Men in Blue an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match T20I series, skipper Virat Kohli has indicated that his team might try new players in the final clash.
On Sunday, winning the toss and batting first India posted 167 for 5 in 20 overs, thanks to 67 from Rohit Sharma. In reply, the West Indies laboured their way to 98 for 4 in 15.3 overs before rain forced play to be suspended and the Men in Blue were declared winner.
“Winning is always going to be priority. But sealing the series gives the chance to bring few guys in. Idea is always going to be to win first. But winning the first two games gives the cushion,” said Kohli at the post-match presentation.

“We set up a good foundation. Good finish from (Ravindra) Jadeja and Krunal (Pandya) to get us past 160. The way we were going, could have got to 180, but pitch slowed down considerably in latter half,” he added.
Meanwhile, the Indian skipper also heaped praise on the 19-year-old Washington Sundar, who conceded just 12 runs from his three overs besides picking the wicket of a dangerous Sunil Narine.
“Starting with the new ball, the way Sundar has bowled against guys who come hard at the ball, he’s done a tremendous job. The composure he’s shown has been outstanding. He’s become fitter, leaner and is very handy with the bat as well. He is definitely going to be a factor for us,” expressed Kohli
India will take on West Indies in the third and final T20I of the series on Tuesday in Guyana.
