Virat Kohli: It looks like a dry track and we would have wanted to bat first. In 50 overs, strike rotation is important and that's where our bowling attack becomes lethal. West Indies are a dangerous side and we can't take them lightly. The guys who are not playing are Manish Pandey, Mayank Agarwal, Chahal and Shardul Thakur.
Kieron Pollard: We will field first. This pitch is a bit of an unknown so we will see how it behaves. We are looking forward to this challenge. We have done a lot of talking about how we want to play international cricket. We want to be competitive.
