INDvWI Tests 2025: New era at home, same old aura
Paltan, तयार का?!
Test cricket is back on home turf & the Indian cricket team is all set to square off against the West Indies. This one’s not just another red-ball battle; it’s a chance to climb up in the World Test Championship 2025-27 standings. 📈
The boys head into this series after an absolute rollercoaster against England earlier this year, a 2-2 draw that had fans glued until the last ball on the fifth day of every Test. That tour wasn’t just about results; it was about heart, fight & lessons. And those lessons? They’re about to be put to work against the Windies.
Skipper Shubman Gill is in the form of his life. Remember those 754 runs against the Englishmen? Pure batting gold! Add to that Siraj’s fiery 23 wickets, which made him a nightmare for batters.
…And of course BOOM BOOM BUMRAH, who scalped 14 wickets in just three matches! These guys are simply gunning to roar again.

Meanwhile, let's talk about history, shall we? India have been untouchable vs West Indies in Tests since October 2002. Over two decades without a defeat! Not to mention, nine straight Test series wins, with the 10th one potentially up for grabs. 🔥
However, in cricket, you can never take anything for granted. The tourists will be hungry to break the streak and India will need to be at their sharpest.
All in all, this series promises to be yet another two-week period where fans go… LONG LIVE TEST CRICKET! ✨
