India’s Squads
For the ODI leg, India will be led by Shubman Gill, with Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli both included alongside Ruturaj Gaikwad, KL Rahul, Dhruv Jurel, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav and Prasidh Krishna rounding out a settled-looking core group.
The T20I squad, meanwhile, will be captained by Shreyas Iyer, with Abhishek Sharma, teenage sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Ishan Kishan, Sanju Samson, Tilak Varma and Shivam Dube leading a batting-heavy line-up built around power-hitting depth.
What’s at Stake
West Indies enter the series looking to rebuild after a mixed run in white-ball cricket recently, while India will use the fixtures to fine-tune combinations across both formats ahead of a packed international calendar. With the ODIs starting the tour and the T20I leg extending into mid-October, home advantage and squad depth make India firm favourites on paper, though West Indies have historically produced flashes of brilliance capable of upsetting the form book in shorter formats.
The West Indies squads are yet to be officially announced, and further team news is expected closer to the series opener.

For India, the series doubles as a fitness and form check for senior players returning from injury layoffs, while selectors will also be watching closely how the middle order shapes up across formats with the next global T20 tournament still on the horizon. Ticket sales for the marquee Bengaluru T20I have reportedly moved briskly given the venue’s reputation as one of the country’s most electric cricket atmospheres.
