Middle Order: Virat Kohli, Dinesh Karthik & MS Dhoni
Virat Kohli is most likely to be back for the Indian team after opting out of the Asia Cup and he will come back to his place at number 3 in the batting line up. Indian fans would expect Virat Kohli to have a run feast in this series after a successful England series.
The number 4 slot is one spot which would invite the maximum amount of debate. Players like Ambati Rayudu, KL Rahul and Manish Pandey will all be competing for the slot but it has to be Dinesh Karthik because of the scintillating form he has been in over the last year or so and also because of the fact that he has performed pretty well for the side whenever he given an opportunity.
MS Dhoni will be India's Wicketkeeper for the West Indies series as well and this series could be an important one for Dhoni as he hasn't been performing well recently and it is important for him to cement his place in the Indian side with a good performance.
