The impending ODI series between India and West Indies is set to begin on February 6 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Players from the Indian team have started arriving in the city ahead of the much-awaited 50-over rubber.

Team India's middle-order batter Suryakumar Yadav took to his social media handles earlier today to share a picture with India's white-ball skipper Rohit Sharma and wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant.

Yadav captioned the post:

"Flying with the best 💯✈️."

Rohit Sharma, who was ruled out of India's recently-concluded South Africa tour, has recovered from his hamstring injury. He is set for a return and will lead the Men in Blue in the IND vs WI 2022 series.

Suryakumar Yadav and Rishabh Pant are part of the ODI as well as T20 squads. Meanwhile, the likes of Shikhar Dhawan, Yuzvendra Chahal and Mohammed Siraj also left for Ahmedabad today. Dhawan shared an in-flight picture with his "reel partner" Chahal on his social media handles.

He posted:

"With my reel partner😉 #Ahmedabad ✈️🇮🇳."

While Ahmedabad will play host to the three ODIs, the subsequent three-match T20I series will be played at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
