However, the narrative was ripped apart and tossed out of the window by West Indies come the series opener, a match where they ended up ripping into India to take a pivotal 1-0 lead.
It wasn’t just the fact that they ended up defeating the Indians in India but the manner in which they got the better off the home side which augurs so well for them ahead of today’s imminent encounter. In what was a clinical win for the side, one even the most raucous supporters of West Indies wouldn’t have envisaged, the side cascaded its way an 8 wicket win on the day.
Needing 289 to win on what was an extremely dickey surface for the bats, the acumen and knowhow of the game the side displayed saw them outshine India completely. It was a win which will make India extremely wary of their opponents come today’s encounter, a match which comes bearing with it colossal ramifications for both the outfits on the day.
