IND vs WI Dream11 Prediction, Best Dream11 Playing XI, Today Match 1st Test, India vs West Indies Test series 2025

Dream11 fantasy XI tips and guide for 1st test of India vs West Indies test series 2025 between IND vs WI to be played in Ahmedabad.

From T20Is, the action shifts to red-ball cricket as India are gearing up to face the West Indies in a two-match test series. The series will begin on October 2, with the first test slated to be played at the Narendra Modi International Cricket Stadium, Ahmedabad.

Shubman Gill captained India well in England, and this will be his first test captain at home. This will be also the first time in more than a decade that India will play test cricket without three of their legends, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Ravichandran Aswhin, who retired from test cricket within 12 months.

India have brought in fresh blood to the squad, and it will be the start of a new generation. The West Indies have been below par in this format, but would be keen to prove their worth.

The first few visuals of the pitch show green covering, which might bring in some early movement for the fast bowlers.
