# Cricket: India captain Shubman Gill says his team plans to grind down the opposition on turning pitches as they begin their home season with two Tests against the West Indies. The opening Test starts Thursday (play starts at 6am SA time) at the world’s largest cricket stadium in Ahmedabad. A young Indian team showed promise in a 2-all draw during their five-Test series in England. That series was Gill’s first as captain, and the first without greats Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Ravichandran Ashwin, who have all retired.
