The talk of the town ahead of the three-match series was whether who would keep wickets for India in Rishabh Pant’s absence, and on Thursday, the team management decided to go for Kishan, who adds a left-handed batting option in an Indian side dominated by right-handers.

Sanju Samson’s wait for an India comeback extended for at least another two days after Ishan Kishan was picked over him as the wicketkeeping option in the first ODI against West Indies in Barbados on Thursday.
The talk of the town ahead of the three-match series was whether who would keep wickets for India in Rishabh Pant’s absence, and on Thursday, the team management decided to go for Kishan, who adds a left-handed batting option in an Indian side dominated by right-handers.
Despite shining on the domestic stage for Kerala and the Indian Premier League (IPL) for Rajasthan Royals (RR), Samson has found the going tough in international cricket, being in and out of the Indian team in recent times.
