Meanwhile, India's star veteran cricketer Shikhar Dhawan opened up on the whole single format hypothesis associated with him.

IND vs WI: India look to seal yet another limited-overs series as West Indies fight for comeback

India's star batter KL Rahul has been struggling with some serious injury woes for quite a while now followed by Covid jolt. Where KL Rahul's absence created a void in India's batting line-up, it also opened the gate for other young guns to make their case in India's fold. The rise of Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant, Deepak Hooda in India's T20I squad has posed a serious question before the selectors whether 'Team India' actually need KL Rahul. In the same line, former New Zealand cricketer Scott Styris also believes Rahul's absence has paved the path for players like Suryakumar, Pant.
