India begin their home summer with a two-match Test series against West Indies starting on October 2. It marks the first series on home soil for captain Shubman Gill who replaced Rohit Sharma earlier this year. With crucial World Test Championship (WTC) points on offer, it promises to be an exciting IND vs WI series.
India unbeaten against West Indies in 23 years
In recent years, India have the wood over West Indies as far as Test cricket is concerned. While West Indies dominated the rivalry in the 70s and 80s, India have reduced the gap with their own era of dominance. The Men in Blue haven’t lost a Test match to Wi in 23 years. India’s last Test defeat in the IND vs WI series came in May 2002. They have won the last 9 Test series in a row, without losing a single Test.
