Preview: Indian cricket team head coach Anil Kumble has said he is looking forward to working with limited-overs skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni when the side takes on the West Indies in the first game of the two-match Twenty20 International series starting at Florida on Saturday. The team is coming into the shortest format of the game after a comfortable 2-0 win over the West Indies in the four-match Test series. [caption id=“attachment_2668618” align=“alignleft” width=“380”]  File picture of Rohit Sharma. PTI[/caption] “This is the first time that I’ll be working with MS. Obviously we have played together over a long period of time and we had a chat yesterday and today as well. I’m really looking forward to working with him and the new set of boys like Jasprit Bumrah who has joined as well,” Kumble told reporters ahead of the T20 series in the United States. “I’ve worked with him in the Indian Premier League (IPL) … so it’s nice to be part of the India dressing room again.” Speaking on the shift in gears from Tests to T20s, the leg-spin legend said: “The West Indies have always been a tough side … they are the T20 world champions. About the shift that we need to make from Test cricket to T20, the West Indies players may not have to do that because some of them are coming straight from the CPL. “They are quality cricketers and have shown consistently how good they are and we had a tough match in the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup as well. “In terms of the quality that we are going to encounter, we are aware of that. It’s going to be a challenge and I think the Indian team has done really well over the last six months as a T20 side as well so that’s something that we are looking forward to.” The former India skipper also praised the facilities at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium here, the venue of the two matches. “It’s a wonderful initiative and we are really looking forward to our matches here… it’s going to be a sell out. We know the US, the expats and the huge Indian diaspora who want quality cricket to come to the US,” the coach said. “We have played in the past in the West Indies and a lot of Indians come over from the US to watch us. So this is a great opportunity for all of them and I’m sure this is the start of a new beginning in the United States and I’m sure there will be a lot more of the Indian team in the US going forward,” Kumble said.

What a game of cricket this has been really! Feel sad for Rahul. So close, yet so far! #IND

Heartbreak for Indian fans. But with 500 runs in 40 overs, the crowd at Florida certainly got the bang for its bucks.

Once again a Dwayne Bravo slower ball does it for West Indies against India.

What a turnaround of events this match has witnessed, India just need 8 of the last over. Wow, What a match! 16 of the 19th over.
Wow @klrahul11 last 3 100's ,one each in in ODI, test, T20 all completed with a six.

After 18 overs,India 222/3 ( Lokesh Rahul 94 , MS Dhoni (C) (W) 39)
Bravo begins the over with a ball on pads and Dhoni plays it towards third man for a four. But DJ backs by giving only three of the next two. What a yorker!! Rahul came down the pitch to attack only to fall flat on his face with his bat some metres away from him. Brilliant over in the context of the game. Only 9 of it.
31* sixes in this match - highest in any T20I. Previous highest was 30 in Ire v Net in 2014 World T20 #IndvsWI
— Bharath Seervi (@SeerviBharath) August 27, 2016
What an innings by @klrahul11 this has been. Lovely clean striking and this should now be an incredible win .#IndvsWI
— Virrender Sehwag (@virendersehwag) August 27, 2016
Stadium noise is absurd after those last two Dhoni sixes. Setting up for a great finish here in Lauderhill.
— Peter Della Penna (@PeterDellaPenna) August 27, 2016
After 17 overs,India 213/3 ( Lokesh Rahul 94 , MS Dhoni (C) (W) 31)
DHONI!!!! Hits his first six of the match. Surely, India needs those helicopter shots now that this chase looks quite possible. And one more towards mid-wicket. A huge one!!! 108 metres! India needs 40 of 20 balls, if they chase it, it will be the highest successful chase ever. Sensible play from the Indian captain, takes a single after hitting a six. And Rahul says thanks captain and hits another maximum towards mid-wicket.
In MS Dhoni territory now...win it from here, skipper 😊👍 #INDvWI
— Aakash Chopra (@cricketaakash) August 27, 2016
The most noticeable thing in this special innings from KL Rahul is the calmness and the awareness of where fielders are.
— Harsha Bhogle (@bhogleharsha) August 27, 2016
After 16 overs,India 193/3 ( Lokesh Rahul 88 , MS Dhoni (C) (W) 18)
Rahul playing brilliantly well and hitting the ball on the rise here. The crowd is demanding for a six with the chants “WE WANT SIX, WE WANT SIX!” India needs 53 with 24 balls remaining. We are set for a nail biting finish.
