WI vs IND Key Players

Mohammad Siraj

Mohammad Siraj will be gearing up as attack leader for the second time in his career, after doing the job when he was two Tests old in Brisbane back in 2021. This time he has some more experience but will still be manning an inexperienced attack which will give him a lot more responsibility.

Kraigg Brathwaite

Kraigg Brathwaite has been one of the best Test openers in recent times and will have to dig deep to make West Indies smile in a time that has been very tough for them. Their failure to make the World Cup will cast a huge shadow on their performance in the upcoming games and Brathwaite will hope to start a fightback here.

WI vs IND Match Tips
