#3 Will we get another glimpse at the wizardry of 'Kul-Cha'?
After asserting their dominance over almost every opposition India faced for almost two years, a dismal performance at the ICC World Cup 2019 all but ended their reign as India's frontline spinners in the shorter formats.
What doesn't help either is the lack of confidence - something that is more evident in Kuldeep Yadav's case. He had the worst IPL season of his career earlier this year.
Wrist spinner Rahul Chahar's continued inclusion in the squad also indicates that the selectors have begun to look beyond the wrist spin duo of Kuldeep and Chahal.
The emphasis in recent series has been to develop a batting line-up that runs deep, one where players that come in at 8 or 9 can score quick runs if required.
India seem intent on sacrificing the more attacking spin options in Kuldeep and Chahal for the sake of improving the batting line-up, which is why Krunal Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar have been regular fixtures in the starting XI since the West Indies tour.
