Gretta Roberts in Dominica," read the caption.

Opportunity to redeem oneself
After a month-long break, Rohit Sharma will return with his team for a Test battle. Team India last played the WTC Final game against Australia and faced a brutal defeat. Now Men In Blue have a good opportunity to win the two-match Test series against West Indies and move forward with their WTC debacle.
On the other hand, West Indies has a bigger scar as the team has not even been able to qualify for the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 being hosted by India. This is for the first time that the two-time world champions will not play in the ODI WC. Hence, the team would want to win the bilateral series against India and serve to their wounds. Notably, India has not lost a single Test series against West Indies since 2022. Hence, the Test battle starting tomorrow will be an interesting watch.
