India are set to take on West Indies in a two-match Test series beginning on Thursday, October 2 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. It will be the first home assignment for the new Test captain Shubman Gill, who began his tenure with a 2-2 series draw in Australia.
As India prepare to take on West Indies, the Asian giants will look to restore their home dominance which ended in the previous home season, following a 0-3 whitewash against New Zealand. It will also be the first home series, following the retirements of stalwarts Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Ravichandran Ashwin.
Hence, the scrutiny on the team’s performance is going to be immense as India aim to make their home an impregnable fortress all over again. All eyes will be on captain Shubman Gill and how he plans the downfall of his opponents as India are also set to host World Test Champions South Africa for a two-match series after West Indies.
