India and West Indies are currently involved in a two-match Test series, with the opening clash being played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. While India, the hosts, have looked dominant against the Caribbean unit, the visitors still possess several exciting young talents who could pose a threat to the home side.

Over the past few years, West Indies have introduced some promising cricketers in their red-ball setup who are beginning to make their mark on the international stage. Here, let us take a look at five rising West Indies stars who can trouble India in the Test series.

The right-arm fast bowler Jayden Seales has quickly become one of the brightest prospects in West Indies cricket. The 23-year-old has already earned praise for his ability to bowl consistently at good pace while maintaining control over his line and length. In his 21 Test matches, Seales has picked up 88 wickets at an impressive average of 22.32.

His knack for breaking partnerships and striking at regular intervals makes him a bowler India cannot take lightly. With his ability to move the ball both ways, Seales could play a pivotal role in applying pressure on India’s strong batting lineup.
