India will take on West Indies in the opening match of the two-match series at North Sound in Antigua today. The match will start at 7 pm Indian time. The match will be played at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua which is known as pacer-freindly where Kohli and his men will be facing the Windies first Test. The last Test played here saw England scoring 187 and 132 but that was a different time of the year.
A win in the opening Test will be the 27th for Kohli as skipper and will put him on even keel with his predecessor Mahendra Singh Dhoni. A century in the game 19th as captain will place him on par with Ricky Ponting. A batting line-up that has Kohli, Cheteshwar Pujara, KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant in the ranks.
