One of the most talented big-hitting all-rounders in the West Indies side, Carlos Brathwaite showed his class against New Zealand as he almost pulled off an improbable win with an 82-ball 101 only to agonizingly finish on the losing side.

A handy medium-pacer who can rattle the opposition batting with some clever variations, Brathwaite's all-round prowess will be key to make up for the absence of Andre Russell.

With an ability to send the ball a long way in the death overs, Brathwaite will undoubtedly be West Indies' X-factor and could prove to be a big wicket for India. With the ball in hand, although he is not express pace, Brathwaite has five wickets from five matches and could well be a tough prospect to deal with on a pitch that is slated to provide some assistance for the pacers.
