It might be tough for Nitish Kumar Reddy to get a place in the Indian team for the series opener against the West Indies, considering spinners are likely to get more out of the pitch in Ahmedabad. Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj are set to form India’s pace duo. If Nitish is picked, there might not be a place for Washington Sundar in the team.

India’s likely playing XI vs West Indies: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Kl Rahul, Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill (C), Dhruv Jurel (WK), Ravindra Jadeja (VC), Washington Sundar/Nitish Kumar Reddy, Kuldeep Aadav, Jasprit Bumrah, mohammed siraj
