5 West Indians to look out for ahead of their clash against India tomorrow

After registering a rather comfortable victory against Pakistan on Friday, India take on reigning World T20 champions West Indies on Sunday at Dhaka.West Indies have a really well rounded side with a few good all-rounders, explosive batsmen and tricky bowlers.Here, we take a look at 5 West Indies players who could pose a significant threat to an Indian victory tomorrow.

#5 Sunil Narine

Narine will undoubtedly be the West Indies' trump card in Bangladesh. Nobody has been able to dominate Narine in the format, and it won't be surprising if that continues over the next 3 weeks in Bangladesh.

On wickets that are expected to assist him, Narine could run through batting orders in no time.

India will do very well to not give him any wickets, but expect the 'mystery man' to have a couple of tricks up his sleeve, as well.

#4 Chris Gayle

Arguably the best T20 batsman in the world, Chris Gayle is a threat in the format in any form, in any condition and against any opponent. If Gayle gets going at the top of the order, there is not much any team can do. It will, however, be interesting to see how Gayle goes about handling his nemesis Bhuvneshwar Kumar.

Gayle can also chip in with a couple of tight overs of off-spin if required.

#3 Darren Sammy

The skipper has led the West Indies side by example in the recent past. Sammy has been in very good form and will hope to continue that on Sunday.

The all-rounder, besides posing a threat with his big hitting skills, could potentially cause damage with his medium-pace bowling, as well, on the low bouncing wickets in Bangladesh.

#2 Marlon Samuels

Samuels is a destructive batsman in the middle order and can take the game away from India in a couple of overs if he gets into his zone.

The Jamaican raises to the big occasion as witnessed during the final of the World T20 in 2012 in which he scored a 78 to lead his side to the trophy. His off-breaks might come in handy, too, on the slow Bangladesh wickets.

#1 Dwayne Bravo

Bravo is one of those guys who is capable of turning a game on its head with the bat, ball or in the field. The Trinidadian took the game away from India in the World T20 in 2009, and it's something that the Indians will be wary of.
