WI vs IND 2019: SWOT analysis of the Indian squad for ODI series against West Indies

#3 Opportunities

Rishabh Pant

The inexperienced lads like Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer and Khaleel Ahmed have appeared in less than ten One Day Internationals while Saini is yet to make his debut for the senior team. This series is an excellent opportunity for the above-mentioned players. Manish Pandey who has played only 23 ODIs so far has recieved another chance to cement his spot in the middle-order.

The skipper of ‘India A’ Manish Pandey was the only batsman to achieve the three-digit figure in the recently concluded ODI series against West Indies A. The 29-year-old was also in good form in IPL 2019 in which he averaged exactly 43 with three half-centuries under his belt. Mumbai-born batsman Iyer too had a good time against ‘West Indies A’ accumulating 187 runs with an average of more than 62 in 4 matches.

Topping the wicket charts in the same series were Khaleel and Saini. The young pacers picked up nine and eight wickets respectively.
