Match Preview
The Test is being played at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, starting October 2, 2025.
This series is important for India as it is their first home Test series without legends Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and R Ashwin. New captain Shubman Gill leads a young Indian side.
India aims to regain dominance in home conditions with a strong pace attack of Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj supported by spinners Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav and Washington Sundar.
West Indies come with a depleted pace lineup due to injuries to Shamar and Alzarri Joseph. Captain Roston Chase and spinner Jomel Warrican will lead their spin bowling.
Pitch conditions at Ahmedabad favor batters early with some assistance for seamers due to grassy red-soil. Spin is expected to play a big role from Day 3 onward.
