“Happy to bowl first. We have been struggling a little. But back-to-back wins put a smile on the faces of our people. I think it is a good surface. You just need to have plans for different batters. We just sat down and tried to come up with our best combination. (Alzarri) Joseph, our premier bowler is back for (Obed) McCoy,” said Rovman Powell. Another change sees Roston Chase replacing Odean Smith.

IND vs WI Live: India aim to “challenge” themselves

“We will bat first. Always feel, we should challenge ourselves. It was a good track. It played better than last year. You need to be courageous on these type of wickets. Arsh (Arshdeep Singh) has a big heart. Even if you can make a good comeback even in the last two balls, it makes a difference,” said India captain Hardik Pandya.
