Indian team is all set for the 1st Test against West Indies, starting July 21 in Antigua. Virat Kohli’s men got a decent practice with both bat and ball in two warm-up matches, and are now ready for a bigger challenge.
The conditions in the Caribbean are tough for the bowlers. They are unlikely to provide zip and bounce for which they were once known for. The Indian bowlers will have to work hard in the upcoming four-match series.
Meanwhile, opener KL Rahul insisted that the Indian team has a strong bowling attack. Rahul, who is in superb form right now, added that India can counter various conditions in West Indies.
“We have three quality spinners and they have been in good form in the Test format and we will be happy if we get turning tracks,” Rahul insisted. “We have the firepower in the pace department as well.”
“All of them have been doing well and increased their fitness levels and pace, so it is good to see them bending their back on wickets like these,” he added. “Getting the ball to carry are good signs.”
