Darren Sammy Sacked?
Although he led Windies side to victory in T20 World cup. Darren Sammy was sacked due to his poor form by WCB. WC final hero Carls Braithwaite has been appointed as the new skipper. West indeis is filled with T20 specialists like, Dwanye Bravo , Russell, Gayle, Simmons. All their players are coming after domestic T2o competition. Kieron Pollard and Sunil Narine, Who did not player WC, are also back in the side. They are hot favorites to win this match.
India
As always, Indian batting department highly relies on Virat Kohli. In t20’s Kohli’s responsibility in minimized. He doesn’t handle Skippers responsibilities. Head coach Anil Kumble said that it is difficult to change mindset from Test to T20. Players who are part of test squad and aren’t for ODI’s flew back soon the test series is concluded. Shikhar Dhawan will assist Rohit Sharma in opening the batting. Rehane will handle middle order responsibilities with KL Rahul. Suresh Raina is the only change one could easily fell looking at the side, Bumrah will handle pace department . Ashwin would like to erase his memories( no balls) in the WC semi-final.
