If we are selecting players based on their recent form, Rovman Powell will probably not feature on our list. He has had a bad series so far in India and has scored only 61 runs from 5 matches. He had a bad outing when the West Indies took on India in the first T20 on Sunday. He was able to manage only 4 runs after the Windies top order collapsed. He will look to give a better performance in the 2nd T20I on 6th November.

Rovman is a T20 specialist batsman and can hit the ball a long way. He has had a tremendous year in T20 matches scoring 436 runs in 16 innings at a strike rate of 149.80 and an average of 38.23 and was exceptional while playing for the Jamaica Tallawahas in the recently concluded Caribbean Premier League. He prefers batting at number 4 and has even better stats in that position. He has scored 335 runs in 8 matches at number 4 with an average of 67 and a strike rate of 170. Rovman can also be a bowling option and has taken 6 wickets this year at an average of 24 but is expensive as well with an economy of 10.56.

Rovman is very strong in the mid wicket to long on the region and also plays big shots over long off. With the typical strong arms and bludgeoning bat of the West Indies, Rovman could be the solution for the struggling Windies middle order in both ODIs and T20Is while he can open the batting as well.

If he performs well in the remaining matches versus India, he could become a Windies regular.
