Team India will play the complete ODI series without their regular captain Rohit Sharma, regular wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant, dependable all-rounder Hardik Pandya, and the leader of the fast bowling department Jasprit Bumrah, while the veteran Virat Kohli also will not be there with the squad part of workload management. But after defeating England in England, India reached West Indies with full confidence to win the series under Shikhar Dhawan.
