Adds that he is a cool captain and makes sure that the team stays energetic and tries to keep the process going in order to get the wins. Mentions that the bench strength they have is complimentary and the exposure the young guys get is a good stage to showcase their talent. Adds that Suryakumar Yadav, Sanju Samson and Shreyas Iyer are a few guys to look out for and ends by saying that they get great support whenever they play here.

West Indies skipper, Nicholas Pooran says they will bowl first. Adds that they are doing it due to the weather around and they want to use the conditions early on. Shares that it was important to win the toss and hopes the player will be happy about it. Tells that they spoke about the recent loss and they want to improve in different areas.

India have been on a roll in the limited overs format and having bagged both the T20I and ODI series against formidable hosts England, they will be looking to continue their march. As many as six senior players, including regular skipper Rohit Sharma, have been rested for this tour but given the depth in the Indian side, Shikhar Dhawan will look to guide them to yet another series win here. Who will start off on the right foot and take the lead in the series? We'll find out soon. Toss and team news in a bit.
