The last match of the three-match ODI series between India and the West Indies takes place today. The T20 series will follow. As the IPL auction will take place tomorrow (February 12) and the day after tomorrow, the T20 matches will start on the 16th.
3D20 matches will be played on the 16th, 18th and 20th. KL Rahul and Akshar Patel have been dropped from the Indian squad for the series.
KL Rahul did not play in the 3rd ODI as he was injured while fielding in the 2nd ODI. In this case, he has left the team for the T20 series. Similarly, Akshar Patel, who was affected by Corona, has been dropped from the T20 squad.
KL Rahul and Akshar Patel have been replaced by Rudraj Kejriwal and Deepak Hooda respectively.
With the departure of KL Rahul, the root of Ishant Kishan has become clear. Because if Rahul drives, he will be the starting batsman with Rohit. Now that he has not played, Ishant Kishan will be the starting batsman with Rohit.

Rohit Sharma (capt), Ishant Kishan, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pund (wicket-keeper), Venkatesh Iyer, Deepak Sahar, Shardul Tagore, Ravi Bishnoi, Yushvendra Sahal, Washington Sunder, Washington Sunder, Khan, Hershel Patel, Rudraj Kejriwal, Deepak Hooda.
