After a dramatic Asia Cup, the focus now shifts to traditional red-ball cricket. India start their home season by hosting the West Indies for the two-match Test series, starting at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. All the talk regarding this Test has been around the pitch. Will it be a rank turner again? Will it be a ‘green top’ as reports have suggested? Or will it be a sporting pitch that can help the match last all five days. Meanwhile, it also starts the era without legendary names as India play the first home Test without Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Ravichandran Ashwin after a gap of 15 years.
