Rohit Sharma’s Team India will be up against West Indies in the first Test at the Windsor Park Stadium in Roseau, Dominica, on Wednesday. Indian cricket team are two-time World Test Championship (WTC) runners-up, losing their second final to Australia at the Oval in London last month.
In the new WTC Cycle, India are set to ring in some changes with Yashasvi Jaiswal stepping up as the new opener to partner skipper Rohit Sharma. With Cheteshwar Pujara being dropped for the West Indies tour, Shubman Gill will be batting at the crucial No. 3 position in the first Test, according to skipper Rohit Sharma.
West Indies and India have faced off against each other in 98 times in the past with both WI and India winning 30 Tests each. However, the Windies have not won a single Test against India for the last 21 years, since 2002.
It will be an important Test for former India captain Virat Kohli as well as he hasn’t scored a Test century away from home for a long time now. Ajinkya Rahane, who made a comeback into the Team India side for the WTC Final last month, has been appointed the vice-captain for this series.
West Indies, on the other hand, will have their Test specialists like captain Kraigg Brathwaite, Tagenarine Chanderpaul, Jermaine Blackwood and Kemar Roach back for the series as well.
