India vs West Indies T20 Playing 11: Probable XIs, TV channel and online streaming details

India and West Indies head into the fifth T20I in Bengaluru on Saturday with the series level at 2-2, setting up a decider at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on October 17. India could bring Bhuvneshwar Kumar into the playing XI after the experienced pacer was added to the squad following Arshdeep Singh’s shoulder injury during the fourth match. The team management will also be looking for a stronger bowling performance after West Indies crossed the 200-run mark in each of the last three games. The match begins at 7 pm, with the toss scheduled for 6.30 pm. Here are the live streaming details and probable playing XIs for the series finale.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar could be in contention for a return to India’s T20I side after being called up as a replacement option following Arshdeep Singh’s shoulder injury. Although he was not included in the original squad, his experience and familiarity with the Bengaluru venue could work in his favour.

Bhuvneshwar has represented Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) over the past two IPL seasons and delivered strong performances during the franchise’s back-to-back title-winning campaigns. His potential inclusion could offer India an experienced option as they look to contain the West Indies batting line-up.
