India will need significant contributions from their batters to compensate for a lack of firepower in their depleted pace attack in the first test against West Indies, which begins in Roseau on Wednesday.

The visitors are without injured spearhead Jasprit Bumrah and have rested seamer Mohammed Shami, leaving Mohammed Siraj, who has played 19 tests, as the leader of an inexperienced pace battery. While they remain the world's top-ranked test team and begin as favourites against eighth-placed West Indies, vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane said there would be no complacency against a side who beat England in successive home series.

"West Indies has performed well at home during the last couple of years or so, especially in tests. We are looking to give our 100 per cent and backing our gameplan and strengths."
