Under the leadership of Virat Kohli, team India to begin the last leg of their home season as they take on West Indies in the first of the 2-Test series today in Rajkot. After almost 5 years, the West Indies will be playing the longest format on the Indian soil. They last played a Test series here in November 2013 which marked the farewell series for cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar.


After losing terribly to Englishmen, it’s a good chance for Kohli and his men to have a fresh start in the red-ball arena. This series would also provide an option to the captain and the coach to analyse their options before they travel to Australia.


India will miss pacers Jasprit Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Ishant Sharma and Hardik Pandya while Murali Vijay and Shikhar Dhawan in the opening slot. That ultimately makes India test a number of new combinations in bowling and batting.
