Conditions in Ahmedabad might dictate India’s playing XI for 1st Test against WI The conditions might be a bit batter friendly in Ahmedabad with the curator reportedly leaving a bit of grass for the first Test against the West Indies. India did well levelling the England series 2-2 and would be keen to improve upon their home show after the New Zealand debacle last year. And given it's just a total of four Tests and the difference in the opponents is quite huge, the Men in Blue seemed to be playing around with the conditions. Amid a muggy weather, India have chosen to go with a green wicket, which is likely to be good for batting. India's likely playing XI for first Test: Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill (c), Devdutt Padikkal, Ravindra Jadeja, Dhruv Jurel(w), Washington Sundar/Kuldeep Yadav, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Mohammed Siraj, Jasprit Bumrah
