India and West Indies Set for Five-Match T20I Series Starting October 6 in Lucknow
India and West Indies will begin their five-match T20I series on October 6 at Lucknow's Ekana Stadium, shortly after India's Asian Games gold medal win. India faces selection decisions, notably whether to open with Sanju Samson or Vaibhav Sooryavanshi alongside Abhishek Sharma. Jasprit Bumrah is rested, with Arshdeep Singh expected to lead the pace attack. West Indies, boosted by recent ODI success and players like Shai Hope, present a strong challenge. The series marks Gautam Gambhir's debut as India's T20I head coach.
