5 Reasons why West Indies will find it tough to beat India

This weekend is expected to be a sizzling one for the cricket lovers as India gears up to play two back to back T20Is against West Indies at a new exciting venue.

The Men in Blue, for the first time in the history, will be playing in the United States of America when they come out to play at the at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium. The Test series in West Indies was an easy walk in the park for the Indians but that certainly won’t be the case in the T20Is.

The Caribbean Kings look revitalized with the return of their T20 superstars. However, this fact doesn’t guarantee them complete dominance over their Indian counterparts. They still have a few things to worry about. Here is a look at the 5 reason why West Indies will find it tough to beat India in the upcoming T20 series.

1. Indian pace bowling attack:

India’s four men fast bowling attack comprising of Umesh Yadav, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammad Shami and Jasprit Bumrah have a good T20 reputation. All of these four players playing together looks impossible. But, whatever the combination MS Dhoni chooses to go with, it will be dangerous for the opposition. Umesh Yadav, the fastest out of the four, chips wickets with the new ball and loves to charge the batsmen with pace. He may have played only one T20 for his national team but his performances in the IPL have kept improving over the years.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar is another bowler who has added more strength to his bowing. 2016 has been quite good for him in terms of T20 cricket. He was a vital man for Sunrisers Hyderabad in their title winning run this IPL season, picking up 23 wickets in just 14 games. The swing bowler will be tricky to handle with the new ball as well at the death.

Mohammad Shami, too, carries the same reputation. The last the most important one – Jasprit Bumrah. Armed with nippy pace and accurate yorkers, Bumrah would perhaps be the one out of these four men the Windies batsmen would really worry about.
