The Windies face the uphill challenge of India in the ongoing ICC World Cup 2019 on Thursday. India have been dominant so far in this World Cup and hence it will be interesting to see how Windies play as the race for the semi-final becomes intense.
For the Dream11 captain there are plenty of options as both the teams are filled with match-winners who on their day can wreck havoc. But do keep your eyes on these three players.
#3. Shai Hope:
The Windies batsman will be a massive threat for India as he is an effective player of spin bowling and has mastered the art of rotating the strike in middle overs.
He is in prime form and he will be eager to get a big knock under his belt.
Batting average in 2019: 55.14
Total number of hundreds in 2019: 2
Batting average in England: 36.11
Total number of fifties in England: 3
Batting average against India: 53.87
Total number of hundreds against India: 1
#2. Rohit Sharma:
The Indian opener was out cheaply against Afghanistan which was his rare failure in recent times. And hence now he will be itching to make it count against Windies.
Rohit loves pace on the ball and is a good player of pull shots. Windies bowlers in the recent times have been bowling short consistently and thus it will be interesting to see what lengths Windies bowlers bowl to Rohit.
Batting average in 2019: 54.75

#1. Virat Kohli:
For the first time since 2012, Virat Kohli failed to make a hundred after scoring three consecutive fifties. The Indian skipper is scoring hundreds so consistently that despite his last hundred was just 6 innings back, it seems like ages ago.
Can Kohli breach the three figure mark against Windies?

Total number of hundreds in 2019: 3
Batting average in England: 55.85
