Team India Squad vs West Indies, 2025

The last time India played West Indies for a Test series was back in July 2023. The side was led by Rohit Sharma, and Virat Kohli was the star batter. Now, both these pillars of the Indian cricket team have retired. The young sensation Shubman Gill has been crowned the captain, Rishabh Pant the vice-captain. They already gained heaps of praise during the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2-2, when they drew the IND vs ENG Test Series 2025. Now, it's another Test, where the ICT will surely target a first series win under the new leader, while the vice captain stays absent.
