Team India are set to hit the transition button with the eagerly anticipated debut of Yashasvi Jaiswal in the two-Test series against a wounded West Indies. After their shock elimination from the ODI World Cup Qualifiers, WI will be eager to prove their relevance in world cricket. The Indian team have its challenges too.

Pujara’s vacant slot

Cheteshwar Pujara’s exit has created a slot in the top-order and the immensely talented Mumbai left-hander Jaiswal, 21, will hope to live up to the promise he has shown at the first-class level. Though Jaiswal usually opens for Mumbai, West Zone and Rest of India in red-ball cricket, to settle his nerves first up, No. 3 may not be a bad slot to begin with here. Against a bowling attack comprising of the seasoned Kemar Roach, Shannon Gabriel, Alazarri Joseph and Jason Holder, it will be baptism by fire for Jaiswal.
