The three-match ODI series between India and the West Indies will begin on February 6th. Men in Blue are back in action for the home series after an ugly whitewash against South Africa last month. From this series onwards, Rohit Sharma will assume full captaincy duties. Shikhar Dhawan, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shreyas Iyer, and Navdeep Saini have tested positive, which is a significant setback for the team; nevertheless, Ishan Kishan and Mayank Agarwal have been brought into the squad.
On the other side, West Indies entered this series with a 3-2 T20I series victory over England. They will be confident in their ability to do well against India, which are now in a state of flux. The West Indies are presently rated eighth in the ICC One-Day International rankings.
Weather
The weather is forecast to be between 13~31°C. There is no risk of rain; therefore, a complete game should be expected.
Pitch
The Narendra Modi Stadium’s pitch is ideal for batting. The new ball hits the bat wonderfully, and batters prefer batting on this surface since they can freely perform their strokes. Lines and lengths will have to be controlled by bowlers.
