India Set to Field Two Debutants in 1st Test Against West Indies
Windsor Park has seen India’s practice sessions for the upcoming 1st Test against West Indies, with the team’s lineup all but set. Yashasvi Jaiswal is set to make his debut as the new opener alongside Rohit Sharma. Ishan Kishan is also set to get his chance after KS Bharat’s lack of success in Rishabh Pant’s absence. India could potentially have a third debutant in Mukesh Kumar, but as of now, Jaydev Unadkat has taken the spot.
India’s Transitional Team
Although India is missing some of their biggest names, such as KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer, Cheteshwar Pujara, Rishabh Pant, Mohammad Shami, and Jasprit Bumrah, the team management is taking advantage of the situation to test out new players. This new lineup will feature yet another new opener, as India have had three different choices in the last 12 months.
Conclusion
India’s 1st Test against West Indies is set to start on Wednesday, 7:30 PM IST, and the team is ready to take the field with two debutants. This transitional lineup is the perfect opportunity for the team management to give some new faces a chance to prove themselves.
