India go into the One Day International series against the West Indies high on confidence, following a string of recent victories.
The men in blue enjoyed a convincing victory in the tour warm-up match against Jamaica on Tuesday and will look to repeat that feat in the first ODI in Jamaica on Thursday.
India have won 18 of their last 23 one-day games and are ranked the third-best ODI team in the world. The West Indies have slipped down to eighth spot.
The Indians received a jolt on Wednesday when off-spinner Ramesh Powar was ruled out of the first game because of injury; paceman S Sreesanth's participation also looks doubtful.
