by

IND vs WI 1st ODI: The 3-match ODI series between India and West Indies is going to start from September 17. Fans were eagerly waiting for this series, because through this, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are going to return to the field. The first match of the series will be played at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram, where Team India will play an ODI match after almost 4 years. This ground has been very lucky for the Indian team, because it was here that Team India had registered one of the biggest wins in the history of cricket in terms of runs. In this series, everyone's eyes are going to be on the playing 11 of Team India, so let us know what could be the possible playing 11 of India in the first ODI match against West Indies.

Shubman Gill will be seen opening with Rohit Sharma.

Talking about the opening pair of Team India in the first ODI against West Indies, captain Shubman Gill will be seen opening the innings along with Rohit Sharma. The pair of these two has been very successful in ODI cricket in the past also. Yashasvi Jaiswal is definitely a part of the squad, but there is full hope that only Gill will be seen opening with Rohit.

Kohli at number 3 and the puzzle of number 4

As usual, Virat Kohli will come out to bat at number 3. This ground of Thiruvananthapuram has been very lucky for Virat, where he played a historic inning of 166 not out in his last ODI match against Sri Lanka. The biggest competition is for the number-4 position, where Rituraj Gaikwad can be tried in the absence of Shreyas Iyer. Gaikwad will have to capitalize on this opportunity to cement his place in the ODI setup. Batsman KL Rahul (vice-captain) will take the responsibility as wicketkeeper batsman at number-5.

These players may get a chance in all-rounders and lower order

Nitish Kumar Reddy may get a chance as an all-rounder at number-6, who can give the team an excellent alternative to Hardik Pandya. Ravindra Jadeja can be seen playing at number 7. Jadeja will be seen playing the role of finisher with spin bowling.

Kuldeep's Chakravyuh and Pace Battery

Considering the conditions of the pitch, spin bowler Kuldeep Yadav can be fielded, who will support Jadeja. The command of fast bowling will be handled by Mohammad Siraj, who has the ability to destroy the top order of West Indies with the new ball. Krishna, who is famous for supporting Siraj, and Punjab's young fast bowler Gurnoor Brar can be included in the playing 11. If the captain and team management want to try something new, then Aaqib Nabi may get a chance to debut. Now it remains to be seen with which playing 11 the Indian team will take the field.

Team India's probable playing 11 in the first ODI against West Indies

Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill (captain), Virat Kohli, Ruturaj Gaikwad, KL Rahul (wicketkeeper/vice-captain), Nitish Kumar Reddy, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Gurnoor Brar/Aaqib Nabi.
