Right then, that's all from the first ODI. A convincing victory has helped India gain a 1-0 lead in the three-match ODI series. It was almost a perfect game for Rohit Sharma and Co. and they would want to replicate this performance in the second ODI as well. On the other hand, it was a forgettable game for West Indies. The hosts will look to put this game behind them as they aim to bring the series back on level terms. The second ODI will take place at the same venue on Saturday, the 29th of July. The first ball will be bowled at 7.00 pm IST (1.30 pm GMT). As always, you can join us early for the build -up. Until then, take care and goodbye!

Ends by saying that Ishan Kishan was good with the bat while chasing.
Shai Hope, the West Indies skipper is in for a chat. He starts by saying that his side didn't play the game in the way they needed to. Adds that one needs to find ways to score runs on a challenging pitch. Informs that Seales is a quality player and worth investing in. He is surely going from strength-to-strength. States that he is unhappy with the way the boys performed with the bat and will certainly hope to rectify it sooner rather than later.

Mentions that He and Jadeja hit good areas which was important on this wicket. Shares that he is following routine and focusing on rhythm. Feels that focusing on length is more important. Adds that the pitch surprised him. States that it is good to have competition. Shares that he and Chahal do not have any competition and says that Chahal gives him confidence and advice.
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.
