India are all set to host the West Indies for a 2-match Test series, which is set to begin on the 2nd of October. This will mark the second red-ball series for India in this WTC cycle after they played against England in the Anderson-Tendulkar trophy.
India could play the first Test of their two-match series against the West Indies on one of the greenest home pitches of recent seasons. Just a day before the First test begins at Ahmedabad, the pitch had a lush and even green covering.
Usually, the Stadium is known to have both black and red soil tracks. The red-soil pitch picked for this match offers excellent bounce and carry when grass holds it together. Another reason for the pitch looking as green as it did was the pitch remaining under covers over the last few days.

A set of injuries in the West Indies camp rules out the possibility of a Green pitch domination
If the West Indies had their original squad to choose from, then India might not be looking forward to the same green pitch, as they could have picked a potent pace trio of Jayden Seales, Shamar Joseph, and Alzarri Joseph to go toe-to-toe with the Indian team.
The weakened West Indies attack might be the reason that contributes to more grass being left on the surface than it otherwise would. Captain Shubman Gill might be looking forward to creating some pressure on the Indian team.
Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna steam in at the Ahmedabad nets
On the other hand, Siraj and Krishna had both picked most of the wickets against England in the final match, as they defended one of the lowest targets on the final day of the Oval Test. Siraj has been steaming in the nets alongside Prasidh Krishna, as they often troubled the likes of Shubman Gill and test openers Yashasvi Jaiswal as well as KL Rahul.
