India are set to host the West Indies for a two-match Test series followed by five ODIs and three T20Is๊ from October 4.
The last time West Indies toured India for a Test series, they suffered two straight innings defeat to lose 0-2. They then also went on to lose a ꧑three-match ODI series 2-1 that followed the Tests.
This time around, cricket experts believe that Windies have a much stronger team and cannot be taken lightly. Also, Virat Kohli & Co. are hurting from their 1-4 defeat to England i💞n five-match Test series but will be hungry to overcome that and re𝔍turn to winnings ways in the format.
Meanwhile, the second ODI to be played between the two teams will now be held at Visakhapatnam’s Dr. Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA–VDCA Cricket Stadium, the BCCI announced on Wednesday.
