West Indies tour of India 2026, 1st T20I

Tue, Oct 6 EDT9:00 AM EDT

Five-Match T20I Series Opens in Lucknow: Fresh off their ODI series battle, India and West Indies launch the shortest format leg at the state-of-the-art Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow for the 1st T20I! Marking the start of a five-match series, both sides clash under floodlights in a high-octane encounter where boundary hitting and spin variations will dictate terms. Stream every powerplay boundary, massive six, and key wicket live on Willow by Cricbuzz via TrillerTV.

High-Voltage Series Opener in Lucknow
The 1st T20I kicks off a 12-day, five-match T20I series moving through Lucknow, Ranchi, Indore, Hyderabad, and Bengaluru, serving as a crucial proving ground for young talent and seasoned international white-ball stars alike.

For India, captained by Shreyas Iyer with Tilak Varma as vice-captain, maximizing early powerplay scoring through dynamic batters is the primary goal. Backed by an explosive lineup—including Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson, Ishan Kishan, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Ravi Bishnoi, Kuldeep Yadav, and Arshdeep Singh—the hosts look to set a commanding tempo at home.

For West Indies, skippered by Shai Hope, deploying middle-overs spin squeezes and unleashing late-overs power hitting are key. Featuring formidable T20 match-winners—including Shimron Hetmyer, Rovman Powell, Sherfane Rutherford, Romario Shepherd, Roston Chase, Akeal Hosein, Gudakesh Motie, Matthew Forde, and Shamar Joseph—the Men in Maroon look to start the series with a statement victory.
