November 3rd, 2011 - 10:57 pm ICT by IANSNew Delhi, Nov 3 (IANS) The West Indies team arrived here Thursday for three Tests and five One-dayers against India.
Led by Darren Sammy, the West Indies team is on a high after their rare series win against Bangladesh. They beat Bangladesh 2-1 in the ODI series and 1-0 in the two-Test series.
