Bhuvneshwar Kumar is back in India's T20I lineup after four long years, making his debut against West Indies in an essential fifth T20I reshaped by rain into a nine-over showdown. Captain Shreyas Iyer has included Bhuvneshwar along with Shivam Dube in the playing XI. West Indies leader Shai Hope opted for a bowling-first strategy, hoping to leverage it to his team's advantage.
