India vs West Indies Live Streaming 1st Test: After leading India to a 2-2 series draw on the England tour, Shubman Gill is ready to lead the Test team for the first time in home conditions, that too on a ground that is his home in IPL-Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad.
India will start as firm favourites in the two-match series and will look to whitewash the Windies to solidify their position in the World Test Championship points table.
Shubman Gill didn’t give away the team combination he and Gautam Gambhir decided for the opening Test, but hinted that India might play with a third seamer as it is expected to play on a green top.
Meanwhile, the West Indies squad is missing key pacers Shamar Joseph and Alzarri Joseph due to injuries. Shamar had been their standout bowler in the previous Test series, claiming 22 wickets during Australia’s 3-0 whitewash at home in June-July. Earlier this week, they also faced a shock defeat against Nepal, losing the T20 series 2-1.
Batter Tagenarine Chanderpaul, son of former captain Shivnarine Chanderpaul, is in line to play in his first test match since January 2024 and middle-order batsman Alick Athanaze has also been recalled to the squad.
