India will meet West Indies in a five-match T20I series beginning on Tuesday in Lucknow, and the games will be shown in India on the Star Sports Networks with live streaming available on the Jio Hotstar app or website.

The T20Is follow a three-match ODI series that India won 2-1, a contest that included a West Indies chase of 352. Shreyas Iyer will captain the Indian side, which arrives after a gold medal win in the Asian Games 2026. The source describes India’s batting as star-studded while noting the bowling looks a little inexperienced in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah. Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel are identified as key bowlers for the hosts.

Shimron Hetmyer, Romario Shepherd, Rovman Powell and Akeal Hosein have returned to T20 internationals for the West Indies, and the report says those returns will strengthen the team’s combination. The article specifies these players are back in T20Is and lists them by name.

The telecasts will be carried across Star Sports Networks and will be accessible on all cable TV networks in India. Coverage will be offered in multiple languages, with Star Sports 1 Hindi named as one of the channels carrying the matches. Supporters unable to access television coverage can watch the live stream via the Jio Hotstar app or website.
