Gill, who was part of the squad that suffered a forgettable 3-0 defeat to New Zealand at home last year, heralded the new era by propelling India to a thrilling series draw 2-2 in England recently. The 25-year-old will take plenty of confidence from that and will be pumped to lead India at home as they hope to dominate the Caribbeans.
Meanwhile, the West Indies haven't won a Test in India since 1994. Moreover, Roston Chase's captaincy tenure got off to a torrid start as Australia consigned them to 3-0 hammering in their backyard recently, capped off by West Indies crumbling to 27 all out in Jamaica. The tourists have players to challenge India but need to play out of their skin to beat a well-drilled home side.
