India are set to embark on their 2024 ICC T20 World Cup journey. The tournament will commence on June 1. Meanwhile, the Men in Blue will begin their campaign with the match against Ireland on June 5. Over the years, several Indian batters have fared well in the Caribbean. Have a look at India's highest T20I run-getters in the West Indies.
Suresh Raina: 221 runs
Over a decade after playing his last T20I in the Caribbean, Suresh Raina leads the runs column for India. With 221 runs from six games, Raina has the most T20I runs for India in the West Indies. The former left-handed batter averaged 36.83 and struck at 141.66 in this regard. Notably, Raina remains the only Indian with a T20I ton in WI.
Suryakumar Yadav: 216 runs
As of now, Suryakumar Yadav is the only Indian other than Raina with over 200 T20I runs in the Caribbean.
