Will Rohit Sharma lead India to a Test series win against West Indies?
Sharma will captain India for the first time in an away series against West Indies. The right-handed batter led the Indian team to a 2-1 series win over Australia at home earlier this year. However, the Indian team lost to the Aussies in the ICC World Test Championship final under his captaincy.

After a month-long break, Sharma and co. will return to the field to play two Tests against West Indies. It will be interesting to see how the Indian team performs in the two-match series.
Fans should note that India have not lost a single Test series against West Indies since 2002. Hence, the visitors will start as the favorites.
