Mukesh Kumar was handed the debut cap but what caught the attention was team picked Ishan Kishan as a keeper in the team over Sanju Samson. The left-hander, who is an opener, has been slotted at No.4, where he failed to mark during the ODI series against New Zealand. 

On the other hand, Sanju Samson in the limited opportunities has been terrific and him being a natural middle-order batter, it was expected that he would feature in the starting XI. In 11 games so far he has scored 330 runs and has a staggering average of 66. 

Here’s the Indian XI for the first ODI against West Indies: 

Rohit Sharma(c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Ishan Kishan(w), Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Umran Malik, Mukesh Kumar
