IND vs WI Match Preview:

India will be eyeing a strong start to the two-match series when they lock horns against the West Indies in the first Test. It will be India's first Test assignment at home since the humiliating 3-0 loss at the hands of New Zealand last year. India were the overwhelming favourites for that series but ended up suffering a whitewash.

It also ended India's long unbeaten run at home in Tests. Before the loss against New Zealand, India's last series defeat at home had come way back in 2012. The hosts will be hoping that the upcoming series against West Indies marks the beginning of a similar domination at home.

The Shubman Gill-led side will be the firm favourites for the series, but the young side should guard against complacency. India's first assignment in the ongoing WTC cycle ended in a 2-2 draw, and they will be keen to win the upcoming series.

For West Indies, the first task should be to avoid a big loss and give India a good challenge. The Caribbean outfit has had a terrible record against India in Tests in the last couple of decades or so.

They have not won a Test series against India since 2002. Their record in India is even worse. West Indies have not won a Test match in India since the 1994/95 season and will be desperate to do well in the upcoming series to improve their terrible record.

While West Indies have struggled against India in recent years, they still have the upper hand in the overall head-to-head record. Out of 100 Tests between the two teams, West Indies have won 30, India have won 23 while 47 Tests have ended in draws.
