India vs West Indies 1st Test playing 11, live match time and streaming

India host West Indies in a two-match Test series beginning today, at the massive Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. West Indies skipper Roston Chase has won the toss and decided to bat first on the day.  This marks Shubman Gill’s first series as captain on home soil, with experienced all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja named vice-captain. With Rishabh Pant still recovering from injury, wicketkeeping duties will likely fall to Dhruv Jurel or N Jagadeesan.  Check IND vs WI LIVE SCORE UPDATES 1st Test Day 1 and full scorecard here 

 

India’s batting will rely on the likes of Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, and Sai Sudharsan, while their pace attack features Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, and Prasidh Krishna. The spin department will be led by Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, and Jadeja. Notably, this is India’s first home series after a disappointing whitewash in New Zealand, and the team will aim to bounce back strongly in familiar conditions.

 

West Indies, meanwhile, have been hit by injuries to key pacers Shamar Joseph and Alzarri Joseph, placing the responsibility on Jayden Seales to lead the pace attack. Debutant Khary Pierre and spinner Jomel Warrican are expected to play crucial roles, while the return of Tagenarine Chanderpaul and Alick Athanaze boosts their batting.

 

Both teams are eyeing crucial WTC 2025–27 points, with India currently third and West Indies sixth.
