India vs West Indies 1st T20I Prediction: Following a comprehensive clean sweep of West Indies in the three-match ODI series, the Indian contingent led by skipper Rohit Sharma is ready to take on West Indies in the T20I series, starting 29th July.



This article will cover - India vs West Indies 1st T20I Prediction: Match Preview, PlayingXI, Fantasy Tips, Details etc.



<h2>India vs West Indies 1st T20I Match Preview:</h2>



Shikhar Dhawan-led team India wiped West Indies in the three-match ODI series, which concluded a night ago. India won three games on the trot convincingly to white-wash the opposition in their own backyard.?



India somehow managed to control its middle-order debacle in the entire series. The opening partnership paved a solid foundation for the other batters to come and to leverage the conditions on offer.&nbsp;



Young opening batter Shubman Gill was India?s most valuable player in the series, who consistently scored runs. Besides Gill, Shreyas Iyer consolidated his middle order position in the ODI format. Meanwhile, Axar Patel continued to fight for his place as he saved India from a defeat in the second ODI.



However, now is the time for some T20I action. The Indian squad for the T20Is arrived in Trinidad a couple of days ago. The likes of Rohit Sharma, Rishabh Pant, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and R Ashwin among others were seen joining the ODI contingent in a video shared by the BCCI a few days ago.



The winning momentum will be on the Indian side and the hosts will be the favourite to win the T20I series as well. However, ruling West Indies out in the T20I format is pretty dangerous thing. West Indies is the most unpredictable side in world cricket, especially when it comes to the shortest format of the game.

Rohit Sharma overtakes Virat Kohli, completes two records during INDvWI 1st T20I: Indian skipper Rohit Sharma continued his purple patch as the leader of the Indian side as he registered a comprehensive 68 runs victory against West Indies in the 1st T20I at the Brian Lara Stadium, Tarouba, Trinidad. With the win, India climbs up in the three-match series by 1-0.



Sharma played a crucial knock while batting first against the Windies. He scored 64 runs from 44 deliveries on the surface where shot-making wasn?t easy. He kept his momentum running and scored a half-century with the help of seven boundaries and two glorious maximums.



Meanwhile, the Indian skipper also claimed two big records in the shortest format of cricket. Sharma reclaimed his crown of the highest run-getter in the Men?s T20I surpassing Martin Guptil, who was just 20 runs ahead of him.&nbsp;



Notably, earlier this week, Martin Guptil had surpassed Rohit Sharma, to become the individual with most runs in the T20Is. He scored 40 runs against Scotland to exceed the Indian leader, however, Sharma re-claimed his throne as he walked out to bat against West Indies on Friday.

The Mumbai batter amassed a total of 3443 runs in 121 T20I innings in his career that began in 2007. Down below is the list of the current top five run-getters in the T20Is.

To add icing to the cake, Rohit Sharma also overtook Virat Kohli on the list of most fifty-plus scores in the T20Is. The Indian skipper scored his 31st half-century in the last game against West Indies while Virat Kohli sits at 30 half-centuries. Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are closely followed by Pakistan skipper Babar Azam with 27 half centuries and Australian batter David Warner and Aaron Finch with 23 and 22 fifties respectively.



Down below is the list of players with the most number of fifties in the T20Is.

Rohit Sharma overtakes Virat Kohli, completes two records during INDvWI 1st T20I

Dinesh Karthik cementing his place in Indian side for T20 World Cup 2022: Indian veteran batter Dinesh Karthik slammed an unbeaten 41 runs in just 19 balls against West Indies in the opening T20I at the Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba and helped his side clinch a clinical 68-run win. Karthik, as usual, took his time initially to set him up for the impending fireworks and then whacked the opposition batters to lead India to a total of 190 runs in 20 overs.



On the surface where shot-making was certainly not easy, the Indian finisher backed his skills and launched an attack on the Caribbean bowlers. The Indian spinners rightly complemented Karthik?s fine finish in the first innings and restricted the opposition to a score of 122 runs in 20 overs.



Following the completion of the contest, Karthik collected his Man of the Match award and said that he is loving this role and is happy to produce impactful performances.



?I have been enjoying it a lot,? said Dinesh Karthik. ?It is a very interesting role. It is not something that you can be very consistent with but on some days, you can make an impact on the team.?



?You need the backing of the captain and coach and I have got that in abundance,? added Karthik.

Notably, Karthik?s blistering performances have helped him cement his place on the Indian T20I side. His IPL season for the Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2022 turned out to be a turning point in his cricketing career where he was struggling to play consistent cricket.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/04/Dinesh-Karthik-1.jpg" alt="AB de Villiers says Dinesh Karthik makes him want to go back and play IPL" class="wp-image-88624" /><figcaption>Image: IPL</figcaption></figure>



The seasoned glovesman amassed 330 runs from 16 IPL 2022 games at an impressive average (55) and brisk strike rate (183.33). The game-changing IPL season paved a way for him to make a comeback on the Indian side and pose himself as a strong candidate for the upcoming T20 World Cup.



<h2>Dinesh Karthik confirmed for T20 World Cup 2022: Reports</h2>



As per several reports, Karthik has already won selectors' trust and is confirmed to board a place Down Under to participate in the T20 World Cup 2022.



?Who is now able to stop Dinesh Karthik? He is now a lock to play in the T20 World Cup in Australia. He continuously delivers through his method and, more crucially, through his approach itself. He now has a lot of experience?, the selector was quoted as saying by Insidesport.



?There has been no formal discussion on the subject. When we speak casually, everyone is very impressed with him and his attitude,? the selector added.
