India vs West Indies are all set to kick off their Two-Test series, with the first match starting on October 2 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. This game isn’t just another fixture — it carries valuable World Test Championship points and comes with plenty of talking points. India will be led by Shubman Gill, who takes charge at home for the first time, while the absence of Rishabh Pant is a big miss. Ravindra Jadeja steps in as vice-captain, adding balance with both bat and ball. For West Indies, skipper Roston Chase faces a tough task as injuries to key quicks Alzarri Joseph and Shamar Joseph leave their pace stocks thin.
With reports of a lively surface in Ahmedabad that could assist the fast bowlers early, this Test promises a fascinating battle of skill and temperament. Let’s break down the Ind vs WI 1st Test Match Prediction and see who will win this 1st test match between Ind vs WI?
