The Indian cricket team has arrived in the West Indies for their tour of two Test matches, three ODIs and five T20s. The first Test match between India and West Indies will start on July 12.
Team India is busily practicing prior to the match, and as is to be expected, all eyes are on them, particularly on former India captain Virat Kohli.
Prior to their series, the Indian cricket team was in for a pleasant surprise when they had the opportunity to meet the one and only Sir Garfield Sobers, the legendary West Indian all-rounder who is widely regarded as one of the greatest ever to grace the sport.
