India are likely go into their World Test Championship opener with a four-bowler strategy, hinted skipper Virat Kohli on the eve of the first Test against the West Indies here on Wednesday.

A lively pitch was dished out in the last Test played here between the West Indies and England.

"We could not look at the wicket as it was still covered. After looking at the pitch, it is more or less a choice between three quicks and a spinner or two quicks and two spinners," Kohli said.

"The last time England played here, pitch had quite a variable bounce so all those factors come into play. But we are very flexible and open at the moment."
