Former India opener Aakash Chopra has revealed his India XI for the second T20I against West Indies which will be played at Warner Park, Basseterre in St. Kitts on August 1, 2022.

Rohit Sharma was back leading the Indian team in the first match of the five-T20I series which was played in Tarouba, Trinidad, and led from the front with a brilliant half-century as India defeated West Indies by 68 runs to go 1-0 up.

Promoted to the opener's post, Suryakumar Yadav chipped in with 24 off 16 balls while Shreyas Iyer (0), Rishabh Pant (14), Hardik Pandya (1), and Ravindra Jadeja (16) had forgetful outings with the willow. Dinesh Karthik was the Player of the Match for his 19-ball 41*.

Sharing a video on his YouTube channel ahead of the 2nd T20I, former Indian cricketer Chopra explained why India should change its playing XI for the 2nd T20I. And one of it was benching Shreyas Iyer in case India goes with Sanju Samson in the playing XI.

"Some changes will have to be done in the team because there is more assistance for fast bowlers here," Chopra said on his YouTube channel.

"If you got Surya to open in the last match, do that in this match as well, but Surya is not your opener. I am thinking the team might just go with Suryakumar Yadav one more time but don't be too surprised if you see Sanju Samson opening. If Surya opens, then the same batting order. Shreyas might have to go out if Sanju opens," Chopra added.

Chopra's likely playing XI for 2nd T20I:

Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Shreyas Iyer/Sanju Samson, Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya, Dinesh Karthik, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin/Ravi Bishnoi, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Arshdeep Singh, Harshal Patel.
