IND vs WI: Ahead of India vs West Indies two-match Test series, set to begin from July 12 onwards, team India played an intra-squad practice game to gear up for the upcoming challenge. Indian batting great Virat Kohli’s ‘weakness’ was once again exploited by a bowler and this time it was left-arm Indian seamer Jaydev Unadkar, who dismissed the right-hander by bowling outside the off-stump. Unakdkat’s delivery, pitched outside the off-stump, got a thick outside edge off Kohli’s bat, only to be caught by a local fielder stationed at first slip.

Yet again, Virat’s struggle to play deliveries pitched outside the off-stump was duly exploited. Most of the times such deliveries in Test cricket aren’t meant to be played but Virat for some reason loves to have a go at it without any distinct footwork, resulting in him being dismissed. Virat was dismissed in a similar fashion in the World Test Championship Final against Australia.

Kohli’s failure with the bat in practice game was arguably the lowest point from the practice session. Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal performed brilliantly in the match. Yashasvi made a solid claim to be included in India XI for Test series opener with a 54 off 76 balls before taking a break.
After the warm-up match, Indian team will arrive in Dominica for the Test series, starting from July 12 onwards. The second Test between India and West Indies will be played from 20th July onwards. After this, a three-match ODI series and a five-match T20I series will be played between the two teams.
India’s Test squad against West Indies: Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Rituraj Gaikwad, Virat Kohli, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ajinkya Rahane (vc), KS Bharat (wk), Ishan Kishan (wk), Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Akshar Patel, Mohammad, Siraj, Mukesh Kumar, Jaydev Unadkat, Navdeep Saini.
