India made just
one change to their playing eleven – Chetan Sharma made way for Rajinder Singh
Ghai. The West Indies made four changes to the eleven that played India in the
previous meeting of the two teams, which was in 1983 – Gordon Greenidge, Eldine
Baptiste, Milton Pydanna and Wayne Daniel made way for Gus Logie, Jeff Dujon,
Joel Garner and Courtney Walsh.
