India will be returning to the longest format after seven-and-a-half-months when the visitors and the West Indies begin their campaigns in the World Test Championship on Thursday. The first Test match will be played at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, North Sound, Antigua.
Excited about playing in the inaugural World Test Championship, India captain Virat Kohli says the competition in the traditional format has 'gone up two-fold' in recent years.
The last time the West Indies had beaten India in a Test and a series was in May 2002. Since then India have won all seven series against the West Indies, and 12 out of 21 Tests.
Rajneesh Gupta presents a detailed statistical overview of Test matches between the two teams:
