After the England vs England were ready for a full vibe of the Test series, the Indian Test for the West Indies Home Series faced uncertainty in place of Kuldeep Yadav in the XI. Will Kudeep’s Asia Cup heroes be wasted under Gautam Gambhir’s strategy to prioritize the depth of batting on the balance of the team?
The India vs. West Indies Test series will begin tomorrow at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, and according to the latest reports, a green track is expected to be prepared with not much help for spinners. Since Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar provide batting counterparts, they are expected to be part of Gambhir’s XI.
In addition, India has also recalled all-rounder spinner Axar Patel who missed out on the previous few test series. His return may put another break on Kuldeep Yadav’s career as a spinner in the Indian testing side.
