IND vs WI 2nd T20I: 2 Changes India might make
Yashasvi Jaiswal IN for Axar Patel?
Jaiswal recently has shown his caliber to the world and he is one of the strongest contenders to make his T20I debut as well. He might replace Axar Patel as we saw our bowling was quite stable and strong with 5 bowlers.
Avesh Khan IN for Mukesh Kumar?
Mukesh Kumar is another name who made his debut in all three formats for India in this West Indies tour and his performance is not that eye-catching except for one. There are quite high chances that the skipper can now give a chance to Avesh Khan and rest Mukesh for a couple of T20Is.
