Which means India's playing XI for the first test against West Indies may not have been stamped. But, Rohit Sharma has tried his best to tell that who will be the players who will play in the first test match. During the press conference on playing eleven, it was also clear from his hint that who would be the 5 players who would be out of the first test.

So as captain Rohit Sharma has already told that he and Yashasvi Jaiswal will open. While Shubman Gill will play at number 3. Please tell that this will also be Yashasvi Jaiswal's debut test.

Ishan Kishan will have to wait for his debut!

Like always, Virat Kohli will be seen handling the command of batting at number 4 from India. Apart from him, the vice-captain of the team Ajinkya Rahane will play at number 5. However, earlier people had definitely felt that Ishan Kishan's Test debut could also be seen here. But Captain Rohit Sharma did not say anything about this. This means that KS Bharat can be included in the playing eleven as a wicket-keeper batsman.

India can land with Ashwin and Jadeja

In the press conference, Rohit Sharma said that he would like to field with two spinners. He told the reason behind this in the last Test match played in Dominica in 2017 and said that the spinners got a lot of help in that. This means that Ashwin may get preference over Shardul Thakur. Apart from Ashwin, the other spinner of the team is left-handed Ravindra Jadeja. Ashwin will also be seen getting Chance against West Indies due to his excellent record.

Who will be the 3rd fast bowler?

As far as the 3 fast bowlers of the team are concerned, captain Rohit Sharma did not say anything directly about it. But during the entire press conference, he definitely took the names of those fast bowlers, about whom it can be said that he can play. Siraj is the most experienced in India's current pace attack, so in this context, his play seems certain.

Jaydev Unadkat can get a chance because of being a left arm bowler. Rohit also mentioned his experience in red ball cricket at the domestic level. Rohit also praised Mukesh Kumar's performance in domestic cricket, indicating that he could be the third pacer.
