India captain Rahul Dravid won the toss and elected to bat in the second Test against the West Indies at the Beausejour stadium in St Lucia on Saturday.
Irfan Pathan, who was rested for first Test, returned to the team in place of the injured S Sreesanth in the only change effected by India.
The West Indies made two changes as they opted for an all out pace attack.
Pedro Collins came in for his half-brother Fidel Edwards, who suffered a hamstring injury in the drawn first Test at Antigua, while chinaman bowler Dave Mohammed made way for Jerome Taylor.
