- This is only the second time that India and the Windies have met in a multi-game bilateral T20I series; the previous example saw two matches, one of which ended as a no-result however (Windies 1-0 win in 2016).
- The Windies have registered five victories in their seven T20I encounters with India (L2); they are currently enjoying a three-match winning run against them.
- India come into this game having registered eight wins in their last nine T20I fixtures (L1); all of those games taking place overseas too.
- India are playing T20I cricket on home soil for the first time since December 2017; they have won four on the bounce in India, their best-ever run at home.
- The Windies have suffered 10 defeats in their 12 T20I matches played away from home since September 2016 (W2); they had managed to claim victories in seven of their eight away outings immediately beforehand however.
- India and the Windies are set for their maiden T20I encounter at Eden Gardens in Kolkata; India have won all three white-ball fixtures previously played at the venue against the Windies, the most recent such occasion did take place in 1994.
- India have played twice before at this famous venue in Kolkata (in this format); their record currently stands at one win and one defeat (versus Pakistan and England respectively).
- Carlos Brathwaite (Windies) took figures of 3/23 when he played his sole T20I outing at Eden Gardens (v England, April 2016); only once before has a bowler taken more wickets in a T20I game there (Mustafizur Rahman, 5).
- India will be without Virat Kohli for this series as he is being rested; Kohli has scored 2,102 runs in T20I cricket, only three men have ever posted more in the format (Guptill, Shoaib Malik & Brendon McCullum).
- India's Yuzvendra Chahal has recorded 39 T20I wickets since the start of 2017; no player has claimed more in that time (level with Rashid Khan).
