Team India is likely to make one change to their playing for the 4th T20I against West Indies which is scheduled to be played on August 12 (Saturday) at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground in Lauderhill, Florida. Mukesh Kumar, who has bowled well right through the ongoing tour of West Indies, might make way for tearaway pacer Umran Malik. The Sunrisers Hyderabad's express pacer hasn't received many opportunities and Saturday can be his time to suit up.
Yashasvi Jaiswal made his T20I debut in the previous match and is likely to open the batting alongside Shubman Gill. Jaiswal replaced Ishan Kishan, who might not get any further chance in the remaining two matches of the series. India's middle order will remain the same with Tilak Varma and Suryakumar Yadav being the engine. Sanju Samson will have yet another opportunity to display his mesmerising repertoire at the highest level.
Kuldeep Yadav returned to the playing XI in the previous match and is likely to keep his place in the side. Ravi Bishnoi, who was picked to play the 2nd T20I, will continue to warm the benches.
India's likely XI for 4th T20I: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya (c), Sanju Samson (wk), Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh, Mukesh Kumar/Umran Malik
With the series tantalisingly placed at 2-1 in Windies' favour, the upcoming match cannot be of any higher stakes for Hardik Pandya-led Men in Blue. After the Men in Maroon won the opening two contests, India made a comeback into the series by winning the third game in a commanding fashion.
Historically, the pitch at Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground in Lauderhill has proven to be a batter's paradise. And with rain likelihood to stay away, fans might be in for a high-scoring fixture as both teams boast enough ammunition to destroy any bowling attack.
Squads
India: Ishan Kishan (wk), Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya (c), Sanju Samson (wk), Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal, Mukesh Kumar, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ravi Bishnoi, Umran Malik, Avesh Khan.
