India Team News & Playing 11
IND Team News
Although India have lost their last four ODIs, all of those games were away from home in South Africa and Sri Lanka. The defeats in Sri Lanka were when the Test team were also competing in England and India could not put out their best XI. India are only missing KL Rahul from their first choice batting line-up
IND Key Players
- Rohit Sharma- the skipper is a fine all format batter and has been in excellent form over recent years. He has hit 29 ODI centuries.
- Virat Kohli- the top order batter was replaced as ODI skipper in December 2021. He averages more with the bat in ODIs than he does in Tests and IT20s.
- Yuzvendra Chahal- the spinner took only 2 wickets in the recent series in South Africa but he will be more comfortable on the turning track in Ahmedabad.
IND Team Form
India have lost the last four ODIs with defeats against South Africa and Sri Lanka.
India Predicted Playing 11
Rohit Sharma (c), Shikhar Dhawan, Ishan Kishan, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Mohammad Siraj, Yuzvendra Chahal, Deepak Chahar

WI Team News
Kieron Pollard’s side were defeated by Ireland in their last two ODIs in January but look to have a far stronger team available for this series. They will have been encouraged by their IT20 series win over England but will need to play at a higher standard in India during this series if they are to be competitive.
WI Key Players
- Shai Hope- the keeper-batter has been in excellent ODI form for many years and hit 6 consecutive ODI scores of 50 and above from March 2020 onwards.
- Romario Shepherd- the bowling all-rounder has developed his batting over recent years and is now a genuine all-rounder. He was particularly impressive during the Abu Dhabi T10
- Akeal Hosein- the left-arm spinner has 20 ODI wickets from 12 games and was very impressive against England in the recent IT20 series.
WI Team Form
West Indies have not been in great ODI form but their most recent IT20 form is strong.
West Indies Predicted Playing 11
Shai Hope (wk), Darren Bravo, Brandon King, Nicholas Pooran, Nkrumah Bonner, Kieron Pollard (c), Jason Holder, Akeal Hosein, Romario Shepherd, Odean Smith, Kemar Roach

🏆 India vs West Indies Prediction
The initial exchanges of the first game of a series can often be rather tepid with both teams feeling each other out. However, we expect India to come firing out of the blocks in this match. West Indies may require a game or two to acclimatise to the conditions and we are predicting an India victory.
