The Men in Blue will be oozing with confidence when they enter the ground to take on West Indies, as they recently claimed their second set of gold medals at the Asian Games. The Shreyas Iyer-led Indian cricket team emerged victorious at the final of the 2026 Asian Games' men's cricket event, defeating their arch rival Pakistan in Japan.
In the 2026 Asian Games, when Team India's T20I squad was under the observation of VVS Laxman, they played both Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson, and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi together in their playing eleven. There is expected to be a slight change of tactics as the team will be again under the guidance of the head coach Gautam Gambhir.
