India's Predicted XI vs West Indies, 1st ODI: Will Team India Choose Ishan Kishan Over Sanju Samson As Wicketkeeper?

After clinching the two-match Test series with 1-0 lead, Team India will be squaring off against West Indies in the first ODI of the three-match series on Thursday in Bridgetown. The Rohit Sharma-led side will use the series against the West Indies to test out a few players to finalise their combinations ahead of the Asia Cup, which will precede the ODI World Cup at home in October-November. Suryakumar Yadav will be aiming to improve his 50-over credentials while Ishan Kishan and Sanju Samson are likely to audition for the wicketkeeper's slot.

Like the two Tests, India will be expected to dominate the West Indies but the series presents a crucial opportunity for the likes of Suryakumar, Kishan, Samson, Yuzvendra Chahal and Umran Malik.

Rohit Sharma:The India skipper had a terrific outing in the two-match Test series as he scored 240 runs as emerged as the second highest run-scorer. However, Rohit miserably failed to leave a mark in the last ODI series against Australia as he was only able to score 43 runs in two matches. He will definitely look to begin the preparation for the upcoming ODI World Cup on a good note.

Shubman Gill:The young opener has proved to be an asset for Team India in all three formats with his aggressive batting style. However, he could not live up to the expectations of the fans in the Test series against West Indies. Earlier, he also failed to register a big score in the three-match ODIs against Australia. Gill will now aim for a strong performance against the Caribbeans.

Virat Kohli:The star India batter impressed everyone with his heroic 76th international century in the Tests against West Indies. He will
