Venue: Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad
Format/Tournament: Test (Playing XIs not announced yet)
Quick Preview & Form Guide
India recent form: W–L–W–L (mixed, but stronger squad depth)
West Indies recent form: L–L–L–W–L (inconsistent)
H2H snapshot: Latest indicator shows IND: W vs WI.
Scenario trends:
When WI chase: L–L–L–L–L (struggle in 4th-innings situations)
When WI bat first: W–W–L–L–W (patchy but can compete)
When IND bat first: W–W–L–L (even)
Takeaway: India hold the edge on form, depth and H2H; WI’s best chance is batting first and letting spin come into the game later.

Pitch & Venue Analysis — Narendra Modi Stadium
Pitch Type: Balanced; supports both disciplines, with a slight spin tilt as the game progresses.
Avg 1st Inns Score: ~319
Avg Wickets/Innings: ~9
Pacers vs Spinners (Fantasy pts/over): Spin 3.3 > Pace 2.8
Toss trends at venue: Decision 50/50; results 20% wins batting first vs 80% wins chasing (historical venue trend; format overlap caution).
Boundaries: ~73m square, ~82m straight.
Fantasy angle at the venue
Prioritize a spinner core (especially R Jadeja / J Warrican) from Day 3 onward impact.
New ball still vital early; India’s Bumrah/Siraj spike with fresh hardness.
Batters who can play spin long spells (e.g., Jaiswal, Gill, Rahul) gain as footmarks develop.

H2H – Recent IND vs WI (last 2 Tests reference)
Top IND: Y Jaiswal 164 avg, R Jadeja 128 avg, M Siraj 84 avg, S Gill 40 avg, A Joseph 34 avg
Top WI: A Athanaze 84 avg, J Warrican 67 avg, T Chanderpaul 45 avg
Read: Jaiswal + Jadeja have been matchup monsters; Warrican is WI’s best route to big fantasy hauls.
Session Impact (Test Equivalent of PP/Death)
New Ball (Day 1 & new 2nd new ball): Bumrah, Siraj (IND) and Joseph, Seales (WI) — wicket clusters.
Middle/Long Spells (Day 2–3): Jadeja (accuracy + rough), Warrican (into footmarks).
Final Session Fatigue: Lower-order batters farming; ARs (Jadeja/Sundar/Greaves) can sneak batting + part-time bowling returns.
MVP Picks (Safe Core)
Ravindra Jadeja (AR) — bat+ball + H2H success; safest C/VC.
Yashasvi Jaiswal (BAT) — top H2H average; plays spin superbly.
Jasprit Bumrah (BOW) — new-ball + reverse; strike rate weapon.
Differential Picks (Upside Plays)
Jomel Warrican (BOW, WI): Venue leans spin later; DT frequency high.
Washington Sundar (AR, IND): If selected, chips both ways; low ownership edge.
Alick Athanaze (BAT, WI): H2H-friendly recent returns; if he settles, big 1st-innings upside.
Jayden Seales / Alzarri Joseph (BOW, WI): New-ball wickets if early movement.
Suggested Dream11 Team (Pre-toss | Test Classic)
(Update after XIs; cap within max 7 per team)
WK (1): KL Rahul (IND)
BAT (4): Yashasvi Jaiswal (IND), Shubman Gill (IND), Alick Athanaze (WI), Tagenarine Chanderpaul (WI)
AR (2): Ravindra Jadeja (IND) (C), Washington Sundar (IND)
BOW (4): Jasprit Bumrah (IND), Mohammed Siraj (IND), Jomel Warrican (WI), Alzarri Joseph (WI)
Captain: Ravindra Jadeja
Vice-Captain: Yashasvi Jaiswal
Build logic: 7–4 India tilt for win equity; retain WI’s primary wicket-takers (Warrican/Joseph) and one WI top-order stabilizer (Athanaze/Chanderpaul) for 1st-innings volume.
Bench pivots if XIs differ:
If Sundar not picked → Kuldeep Yadav (IND) (adds spin bite).
If Rahul not WK/playing → D Jurel (IND) or S Hope (WI), depending on selection.
If pitch drier than expected → double-spin with Kuldeep + Jadeja.
Final Fantasy Tips (Conditional)
If India bat first:
Tilt to 2–3 India batters + Jadeja; hold one WI quick for 2nd-innings burst and Warrican for Day 3/4 cash.
VC on Gill is viable alongside Jaiswal.
If West Indies bat first:
Front-load Bumrah & Siraj (chance of early clusters).
Keep Athanaze/Chanderpaul as single WI batter; add second WI seamer (Seales) only if there’s grass/clouds.
On Day 3 pivot (GL moves):
Push a double-IND spin combo (Jadeja + Kuldeep/Sundar) and retain Warrican; fade one WI batter for an extra bowler.
Quick Do/Don’t
Do: Lock Jadeja + Jaiswal + one of Bumrah/Siraj as your core.
Don’t: Overstack WI batting unless pitch is a flat road (data doesn’t suggest it).
Note: Playing XIs not announced — recheck toss/lineups before finalizing and swap in the nearest role-equivalent from pivots above.
