After winning two close matches against the West Indies, the Indian side have already won the ODI series. Although there is one more game to go, it is nothing but a mere formality.
All eyes are now set on the upcoming five-match T20I series between the two teams which will start on 29th July. In a recent video doing the rounds on Twitter, players for the upcoming T20I could be seen getting off from team bus.
The players could be seen heading into the team hotel from the bus and waving to the cameraman and a few fans. Notably, many senior players were rested for the ODI series and have now joined the team ahead of the T20I series.

India are scheduled to play five T20I matches against West Indies after the ODI series. The first T20I is scheduled to take place at the Brian Lara stadium before the game moves to St Kitts for the second and third T20I. The fourth and fifth matches would take place at Lauderhill in Florida, USA.
Virat Kohli has been rested for the West Indies tour and allowed time to retrospect on his bad reign of form. KL Rahul meanwhile is recovering from an injury at the NCA Bangalore. His inclusion in the team was subject to fitness, something that is looking increasingly difficult as time passes.
Kuldeep Yadav, who was also recovering from an injury, has passed the fitness test and is allowed to join the Indian camp in West Indies. Meanwhile, Ashwin makes an entry into the T20I squad after more than eight months.
The rest of the India team is currently preparing for the third ODI. India won the second ODI on the back of a sensational performance from Axar Patel who hit 64 runs in 35 balls.
