India vs West Indies 2018: 5 Players who might be rested for the T20I series against Windies

Virat Kohli, the Indian captain, has had an exhausting 2018 - South African tour in January, IPL in April, English tour in July, and the home series against West Indies in October. Considering Virat's dynamic workload before the Asia Cup, BCCI chose to rest their premier batsman for the Asia Cup 2018.

Nonetheless, Virat came back for the home Test series against West Indies and now for the ODI series as well. Thus, with Kohli having played the Test and the ODI series (at-least first two ODIs), we could expect the Indian administration to rest Virat Kohli again for the T20I series against West Indies ahead of the much-important Australian tour.

Besides, Rohit Sharma's availability helps the cause for BCCI. Sharma has captained the Indian wonderfully under the absence of Kohli and handing him the captaincy for the T20I series against West Indies will not be a bad option by any means.

In addition to that, it would also help Virat Kohli to ease off his body ahead of the Australian tour which is expected to be a gruelling assignment for India.
