#3 Kraigg Brathwaite
The 25-year-old will lead the West Indies batting order and the first test of the tour on October 4 will be his 50th test match. Brathwaite is an experienced campaigner, he has been in India before knows the conditions well and that will definitely come in handy. He has a good defence and especially in India were the grips, spin a solid defence will help.
He is known for scoring big runs ones he settles down, he has already scored a double ton. He is in a scintillating form he scored two tons against Bangladesh and has had a good county season too. He also scored an unbeaten 52 in the warm game against Indian Board President's XI. His style of batting breaks the bowlers down and makes them try something different and that's when he scores.
He is a handy off-break bowler too, he has the best figures of 6/29 in an innings that came against Sri Lanka. He has been in good form in the last two years scoring 1377 runs at an average of 44. In the last two years, he has played three games in the subcontinent and has scored 328 runs at an average of 82. Brathwaite will play the anchor role and others will play around him.
