Notably, Team India was engaged in a photo shoot before kicking off their World Test Championship campaign against the West Indies on Thursday in Antigua.

India have had a good outing as they have been unbeaten so far, winning the three-match T20I series 3-0 and three-match one-day international series 2-0 (one match was washed off due to rain). The Men in Blue will look to continue their winning streak when they face the West Indies in the red-ball game.

India, the No.1 ranked side in Tests, will commence their World Test Championship campaign at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua before moving to Sabina Park in Jamaica for the second and final Test of the tour.

Kohli believes that the Test Championship will make batsmanship difficult as it will result into larger scheme of things.

“The games are going to be much more competitive and it brings a lot of purpose to the Test matches you play. It’s the right move and at the absolute right time,” Kohli said during the West Indies Players’ Association awards night on Monday.
