Preview

India will take on West Indies in the first ODI of the three-match series on Sunday, September 27, at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram.

India will be looking to start the series on a positive note after a mixed run in their recent ODIs. With Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma returning to the ODI setup, the hosts will be keen to make the most of their experience and begin the series with a win.

Meanwhile, West Indies will aim to put up a strong challenge against the hosts and build on their recent victory. The visitors have had an inconsistent run in their last five matches, but will be hoping to produce a disciplined performance with both bat and ball and put India under pressure in the series opener.
