India (IND) will be up against West Indies (WI) in the first Test match of the India Tour of West Indies at Windsor Park in Roseau from July 12. India have been in decent form in this format in the last few matches, where they have managed to win two and draw a game in their last five encounters. West Indies, on the other hand, have been able to win just one match in their last five matches. India starts the series as favourites, and it would require special efforts from West Indies to evade clean sweep in this format.

Player Picks
Rohit Sharma IND | BAT
Rohit has been leading his side from the front in this format and has been one of the best batters of the team. He has amassed 3437 runs at an average of 45.22 having played 50 matches and should be the one to lead your team as well.
Ravichandran Ashwin IND | ALL
Ashwin is India’s one of all time biggest match winners of the format where he has won matches for the team by his performances with the bat as well as the ball. He has mustered 474 wickets and 3129 runs in 92 matches.
Jason Holder WI | ALL
Holder has been the key player for West Indies in this format with the bat as well as ball. He has amassed 2744 runs and 155 wickets in 62 matches and can be another great choice for the captaincy role.
Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team
Jermaine Blackwood
WI | BAT
Blackwood has been given regular chances but has not been able to convert into good performances. He should not find a place in your team.
Akeem Jordan
WI | BOWL
Jordan does not have too much of an experience to his aid which might be a factor you should keep in mind before you pick him up in your team.
