Following their debacle in England, the Indian cricket team has undoubtedly done a brilliant job in the ongoing 2018 Asia Cup. They avenged their 2017 Champions Trophy final loss on the back of two successive wins against Pakistan. Despite the absence of Virat Kohli, the Rohit Sharma-led side has remained unbeaten on their way to the tournament's final where they'll take on Bangladesh for the coveted trophy.

But, while Team India is getting ready for the summit clash to successfully defend their Asia Cup title, their opponents for the next series - West Indies -  touched down in their backyard to a rousing welcome. The Caribbean giants arrived in Vadodara where they will begin their tour with a practise match against the Board President's XI which is scheduled to be held on 29th September.

However, despite taking the field, the Windies were already bowled over by the "vibrant welcome" they received at the hotel. Cricket West Indies (CWI) shared a video of their team's arrival at a Vadodara hotel. The video showed the Windies cricketers making their way into the hotel where they were greeted to a traditional dance performance, displaying India's rich culture.

Ahead of their tour, Windies coach Stuart Law claimed that he is confident that the Caribbean side will give tough competition to the world's no. 1 Test side in the upcoming series. “Our top six are going to stick their hand up and score the big runs, they are capable of doing so. If we can put runs on the board we can create pressure by giving the bowlers something to work,” Law said.
