New Delhi: All eyes will be on the playing XI of Team India (India vs West Indies 1st odi) in the first ODI against West Indies on Friday. In the absence of senior players, youngsters will have a chance. Shikhar Dhawan is handling the captaincy. The team management will have to put in some effort to select the players in the middle order.

Only one of Sanju-Iyer will play!
Deepak Hooda, who is in excellent form, can bat at number three and Suryakumar Yadav is also certain to be selected in the playing XI. In such a situation, the team management will have to decide whether to choose between Shreyas Iyer and Sanju Samson. Iyer will be under pressure as his weakness in the face of short pitch deliveries came to the fore during the tour of England.

Axar Patel can be the third spinner
In Hardik’s absence, Shardul Thakur will be a substitute for the fast bowling all-rounder for India. The pitch is expected to help the spinners and in such a situation, Yuzvendra Chahal and Ravindra Jadeja can play in all three matches. Axar Patel is the option as the third spinner.

Arshdeep may debut
Pacer Arshdeep Singh, who missed the ODIs in England due to a hamstring strain, may get a chance to make his ODI debut on Friday as he was seen bowling a lot in the nets on Thursday. The famous Krishna and Mohammad Siraj will be in the playing XI as the main bowlers.
