It's the start of a new World Test Championship cycle for India and West Indies. India, who were the runners-up in the previous WTC cycle for the second time in a row, take on a Windies side that has been struggling to live up to its traditional reputation, no matter the format of the game.
The series will see India trying some new combinations in a bid to prepare a team for the future. The likes of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ishan Kishan and Mukesh Kumar would all look to make their opportunities count against a West Indian team that can be quite unpredictable.
Focus would also be on the stalwarts like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to deliver the goods from their bats. | LIVE Scorecard
