The Indian cricket team kickstarted the 3-match ODI series on a brilliant note by defeating West Indies to take a 1-0 lead in the series. The Indian bowlers stole the show with their amazing performance that set the match up for the hosts.

The just-concluded first ODI match was special for two wonderful reasons. The first one of course was that it was the first assignment of Rohit Sharma as the full-time ODI skipper, while another reason was that the Indian national cricket team is making their 1000th appearance in ODIs.

Before the match began, Rohit Sharma won the toss and decided to bowl first. The decision to bowl first was backed by the Indian bowlers. Mohammed Siraj gave a good kickstart to the Indian team by dismissing Shai Hope early. Washington Sundar was brought inside the powerplay and he picked two wickets in a wonderful spell.

After the powerplay, Yuzvendra Chahal was brought in and he made a stunning comeback into the team. He picked two wickets in his very first over as he dismissed Nicholas Pooran and Kieron Pollard, virtually ending West Indies’ challenge in the game.

After two more wickets, the visitors found themselves at 79/7. Jason Holder and Fabian Allen joined hands and build a strong partnership before the last three wickets fell and the West Indies cricket team collapsed up for 176.
