What are the Top Picks, players for Dream11, My11circle and MPL for IND vs WI, 1st Test?

Top Pick – Batter

Ajinkya Rahane made a strong statement with a charismatic return to Test cricket in the WTC Final against Australia, scoring 89 and 46 in the 1st and 2nd innings respectively. He has an impressive track record in West Indies soil where he has scored 514 runs in 6 Test matches which includes 2 centuries.

Top Pick – All-Rounder

Jason Holder is nippy and has troubled Indian batters in the past and West Indies requires more batting services from him in this series. He has picked up 155 wickets and scored 2744 runs in his 62 Test matches.

Top Pick – Bowler

The conditions here in West Indies will be ideal for Mohammed Siraj who has got sheer pace. The 29-year-old fast bowler has picked up 52 wickets in his 19 Test matches.

Top Pick – Wicketkeeper

Joshua Da Silva has played 22 Test matches on the trot without missing a single game since making his debut against New Zealand in 2020 at Wellington. In his 38 Test innings, he has scored 857 runs at an average of 27.64.

X-Factor:

Virat Kohli is the only cricketer in the current Indian side who played a Test at Windsor Park. He needs to prove critics wrong following his ordinary efforts in the WTC Final. Kohli has accumulated 8479 runs in 109 Tests at an average of 48.72.

What are the fantasy suggested teams for IND vs WI, 1st Test?

1. Joshua Da Silva, Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane (c), Kraigg Brathwaite, Jermaine Blackwood, Shubman Gill, Ravindra Jadeja, Jason Holder (vc), Kemar Roach, Shardul Thakur, Mohammed Siraj

2. Joshua Da Silva, Rohit Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane, Kraigg Brathwaite (vc), Tagenarine Chanderpaul, Shubman Gill (c), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ravichandran Ashwin, Jason Holder, Kemar Roach, Mohammed Siraj

Pre-Match Analysis:

Two-time runners-up India will start their new WTC cycle with 2 matches Test series against West Indies. Considering the future, BCCI has decided to give more prominence to fresh blood and hence included Ruturaj Gaikwad and Yashasvi Jaiswal in the Test squad. Veteran Test specialist Cheteshwar Pujara who had an abysmal WTC Final against Australia has been omitted from the squad. Seamer Mukesh Kumar who didn’t get a game after earning an ODI call-up last year against South Africa has been included for the first time in the Indian Test squad. After a dream comeback in the WTC Final against Australia, Ajinkya Rahane has been straight away elevated to the vice-captaincy role. Obviously, it’s a tough call for the management to pick the final eleven with plenty of competition in the squad.

West Indies announced 13 man squad for the opening Test that features uncapped Alick Athanaze and Kirk McKenzie. Rahkeem Cornwall and Jomel Warrican too return to the Test squad. Experienced batter Kraigg Brathwaite will continue to lead the side in the longest format and Jermaine Blackwood named as his deputy. Jason Holder and Alzarri Joseph joined the squad directly after ending ICC World Cup Qualifier in the mid-way when West Indies had no chance of going further. All-rounders Roston Chase and Kyle Mayers are expected to join the squad for the 2nd Test. They are playing their 1st Test at home after 12 months.
