India go 1-0 up in the ODI series doing short work of the West Indies team defeating them by 5 wickets.
Earlier, India captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and opted to field first as India began the white-ball leg of their tour of the West Indies.
Indian spin duo of Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja achieved a unique feat for the first time in 49 years in Indian cricket. The two spinners became the first left-arm spin pair to take seven or more wickets together which has not happened in Indian cricket almost in 50 years. India won the first ODI by five wickets to take a 1-0 lead in the series.
Kuldeep Yadav took 4/6 in just 3 overs while Jadeja took 3 for 37 as they took seven wickets for just 43 to bowl out West Indies for a paltry 114. Hardik Pandya, Mukesh Kumar and Shardul Thakur took one each.
The West Indies put up a tame performance with the bat as they were blown away for just 114 runs in 23 overs. In response, though, India have gone through a bit of a collapse themselves. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli did not come out in their usual positions as India chose to give the lower order batters some time out in the middle.
Ishan Kishan scored a half century but there was precious little from others. Kishan eventually fell for 52 off 46 and India were 97/5 in 17.2 overs, at which point Rohit Sharma finally came out to bat. West Indies went from 88/3 in 15.4 overs to being all out for 114 in 23 overs. Captain Shai Hope cut a forlorn figure as he was stranded at one end while West Indies kept losing wickets at the other. He ended up falling for 43 off 45 balls. Rohit finally walked in at No.7 and Kohli was padded up when the Indian captain hit the winning runs. India ended up winning by five wickets.
