Yashasvi Jaiswal has gained the trust of the team management due to his exceptional consistency and overall performance, which has allowed him to play for the national squad in Test cricket versus the Caribbean side. Jaiswal’s outstanding performance in the IPL 2023 added to his resume and elevated him to an intriguing prospect for the forthcoming games.
Virat Kohli will want to overpower the Windies’ bowling arsenal and produce outstanding performances for the national team in the upcoming match in the Caribbean islands. After a three-year hiatus, Kohli achieved a Test century this year, demonstrating his resiliency and capacity to overcome setbacks.
During the WTC final in 2023, Ajinkya Rahane rejoined India’s Test team after an absence of one and a half years. He was chosen for the West Indies trip and reclaimed the deputy captaincy after he scored the most runs versus Australia in the WTC final. Rahane hopes to show the board as well as team management that they made the correct decision despite criticism of his appointment.
