Stay tuned for the presentation...

Earlier in the match, after electing to bowl first, the Indian bowlers single-handedly took the game away from West Indies. It was the seamers who started doing the damage from the get-go. Mukesh Kumar began his ODI debut with a maiden over and then went on to pick up his maiden wicket as well. Then it was just the magic of our spinners, Ravindra Jadeja started to spin his web, and then Kuldeep Yadav came into the picture which helped India to end things early. Kuldeep Yadav's spell of the day reads 3-2-6-4. For West Indies, it was a sorry outing with the blade and would certainly need to step up their game before these two sides meet again.

There was not much to play for, but the West Indies bowlers can to the part once the pitch started to do the talking. The spinners kept things tight in the middle overs and spun their web. Although it was just too little too late, maybe if 4 wickets could've come inside the first Powerplay, then they certainly were in the game. Gudakesh Motie impressed for the hosts with the ball in hand with his two-wicket haul.

Ishan Kishan certainly made the most of the opportunity given to him and kept scoring runs at will. Unfortunately for him though he could not stick around for long after making his half-century, but he certainly set the tone for this chase. Once the second-wicket stand was broken, there was a period when India kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Nevertheless, the run rate was never affected by any of it. In the end, Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja applied the finishing touches.

An emphatic win for India and they have taken a 1-0 lead in this series. Rohit Sharma, the skipper got the winning runs but surprisingly he only had 12 runs to his name. Well, don't be taken aback, it is not like he opened the innings and could only rack three boundaries. Rohit Sharma said during the toss that they wanted to try a few things and we saw him come out at number 7, as he handed his position to Ishan Kishan who opened alongside Shubman Gill.
