#3 Virat Kohli (c)
The most consistent batsman of the world, Virat Kohli has a brilliant average of 50.00 in T20I cricket. Kohli has played 72 matches, scoring 2,450 runs at a strike rate of 135.28. Although he has never registered a ton in the T20I arena, he has played multiple match-winning knocks for India.
Kohli has also recorded 22 half-tons in his career. Since he has missed a plethora of T20I matches in the recent past, he would be keen to hit the ground running against West Indies.
#4 Shreyas Iyer
India's new number 4 batsman Shreyas Iyer has all but cemented his position in the team with some fantastic performances. He struck an impressive knock of 62 runs in the final T20I against Bangladesh, and he also recently destroyed the Punjab bowling attack in the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy.
Iyer has represented India in 11 T20 matches, aggregating 212 runs at a strike rate of 131.67. He has also been a game-changer for Delhi Capitals while batting at number 4 in the IPL.
