When India toured the West Indies in June and July 2011 they chose a largely inexperienced squad, resting Tendulkar and others absent through injury such as Gautam Gambhir and Virender Sehwag. Kohli was one of three uncapped players in the Test squad. India won the Test series 1–0 but Kohli struggled on his introduction to the format; he struggled with the short ball amassing just 76 runs from five innings. Particularly troublesome for Kohli was the fast bowling of Fidel Edwards, who dismissed him three times in the series. Initially dropped from the Test squad for India’s four-match series against England in July and August, Kohli was recalled as cover for the injured Yuvraj Singh.
