Team India would look for more ways than one to bounce back and announce themselves once again when they face the West Indies for a month-long tour. The Rohit Sharma-led side had a forgettable performance in the World Test Championship 2023 final, where the batting failed in both innings of the match. India timidly surrendered on the fifth day, where fans at Edgbaston had expected them to put up a fight, but now, that’s a thing of the past and all the Men in Blue would look forward to is starting this next cycle of WTC on a high. Their opponents West Indies, are expected to pose a lesser threat than England or Australia, but the Kraigg Brathwaite-led unit is determined, confident and would be raring to go against the top-ranked Test team in the world.

The tour would conclude with a five-match T20I series, two of which would be played in Florida in the United States. Star players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli would have the spotlight as usual, but this time, they are at a point where they need to make an impact and show why they are among the best to have played the game. A lot of eyeballs would also be on the likes of youngsters Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ruturaj Gaikwad, who have earned Test call-ups and are expected to feature in the series.
