India
Shubman Gill
He scored over 700 runs in the five-match series against England. Shubman Gill is in good touch and is looking forward to the series.
Mohammed Siraj
He will lead the pace attack with Jasprit Bumrah. After a long rest, he will be expected to clean up the West Indies batting unit. He took 23 wickets against England.
Sai Sudharsan
He was not at his best in his debut Test series in England, but he would like to make his performance count against the West Indies.
KL Rahul
He is one of the best openers and has done well in the previous two Test series in Australia and England. India will rely on his performances against the West Indies.
