IND vs WI Dream11 Prediction, Match Preview, and Probable Playing XI of the 1st ODI match of West Indies tour of India 2019. India will take on West Indies at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
After winning the T20 series against the defending champions, the Indian team will be now eyeing on the ODI series. The last ODI series that India played was also against West Indies, and India won that series. So India would be feeling a lot confident about this series and would want to perform well. Mayank Agarwal gets a chance as a replacement to Shikhar Dhawan, who has been ruled out of this series due to injury, and Shardul Thakur also receives a call into the team due to Bhuvneshwar Kumar being injured. Kedhar Jadhav will be playing in the blue jersey after a long time, and he needs to prove himself in this series. But India’s batting line up looks solid with KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli being in super form. The main concern for India will be the bowling as Bhuvneshwar is injured, and Shami is the only experienced fast bowler in the Indian team.
West Indies, despite losing the T20 series, still would be happy the way they performed and how well they performed as a team, even in the absence of players like Sunil Narine, Chris Gayle, and Andre Russell. They have also won their last ODI series against Afghanistan would also give some confidence. In the final match of the T20 series, Evin Lewis was injured and did not come to bat, and there are fewer chances that he will be playing the 1st ODI. It must be a significant concern for the West Indies. But they got some outstanding batsmen like Shai Hope, Nicholas Pooran and a perfect all-rounder Roston Chase who can bat and bowl very well too, they would be very confident to face the Indian team, and this would be an exciting contest to watch.

The pitch is a bit slow and spinner friendly. Spinners had massive success at this venue so that this match will be probably a low scoring match. The pitch was undercover for a significant part in the last 48 hours, and there is a forecast of rain on the match day.

IND vs. WI Dream11 Team News
IND:
Dhawan being ruled out of this series gives KL Rahul a chance to open the innings alongside Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli would be playing at his same spot that is No.3. As this pitch is considered to be slow, India would want to play with three spinners R Jadeja, Chahal, and Kuldeep. Deepak Chahar and M Shami will be the pacer.
As this the home ground for Deepak Chahar as he plays for CSK, it is most likely that he will be in the team.
WI:
West Indies would play the same combinations that they played against Afghanistan as they have not changed their team much and almost playing with the same squad. The only change would be Evin Lewis might not be playing the 1st ODI.
