IND vs WI T20I Live Score: Indian skipper Virat Kohli has returned to lead the T20I side. © AFP As India take on West Indies in the first T20 International (T20I) of their three-match series in Hyderabad, it will be a chance for KL Rahul to stake a claim for the opener's slot along with Rohit Sharma, while Rishabh Pant will get another chance to show that he deserves to be on the flight to Australia in October next year for the T20 World Cup. West Indies, on the other hand, will be looking for some payback, having lost 3-0 when India played them last.

West Indies will look to bounce back from their 2-1 T20I series defeat to Afghanistan in Lucknow.
