Both West Indies and Indian team are all set for the five-day clash that begins tomorrow. It will be a big test for both the teams and both the captains as it is the first time that both these captains are facing each other in this format. West Indies team will have a pressure to prove the critics wrong and the only way they can do this is by defeating team India which seems quite tough for them. On the other hand, Indian team is also going through mental pressure as this is a young team and has a difficult task in front of them.
It is the first time that Virat Kohli will be leading the team as a permanent captain in this format outside Asia. It will be a hard challenge for him as the memories of his last Test tour to this country still, haunts him. Virat Kohli made his Test debut here and could just score 76 runs in three Test matches he played. Surely skipper Kohli might be feeling some pressure here but still it is a fact that Indian team is much strong than the West Indies team which is a big relief for the Indian team.
It will be an interesting contest where the team who will perform well will emerge as the winner in the end.
