West Indies Predicted Playing XI for 1st ODI vs India
Shai Hope leads the Caribbean side in Thiruvananthapuram with experienced batting and a four-pronged pace attack.
Middle order
Sherfane Rutherford is expected to play an important role in the middle order, providing an aggressive option who can accelerate the scoring when required. His ability to contribute with the ball also gives the team some flexibility in the playing XI. Roston Chase follows at number five and brings considerable experience to the middle overs.
Chase's ability to build an innings and handle spin can be particularly useful when the scoring rate needs to be maintained without taking excessive risks. Justin Greaves is likely to bat at number six, adding further depth to the batting lineup. He can play the role of a finisher while also giving the side another all-round option if required.
