Team India Report Card, 1st ODI vs West Indies: Bowlers, Rohit Sharma Shine In Impressive Win

India returned to winning ways after a disappointing South Africa tour with an impressive six-wicket win over the West Indies in the opening ODI of the three-match series in Ahmedabad on Sunday. After winning the toss and opting to field, Indian bowlers dominated proceedings and ran through the visitors' top order. Yuzvendra Chahal (4/49), Washington Sundar (3/30), Prasidh Krishna (2/29) and Mohammed Siraj (1/26) were in fine form as West Indies struggled to get going after being put into bat. On a spin-friendly pitch, Sundar and Chahal piled on the pressure on the visiting side and put India on the path to victory. In the chase, skipper Rohit Sharma built the foundation for a comfortable win for India.

Watch: How Virat Kohli Persuaded Captain Rohit Sharma To Take DRS In India's 1st ODI vs West Indies

Virat Kohli made a crucial intervention to persuade his successor as India captain, Rohit Sharma, to make a correct call under the Decision Review System (DRS) in the team's opening ODI against the West Indies in Ahmedabad on Sunday. The incident took place in the 22nd over of West Indies' innings when Shamarh Brooks seemed to have nicked a Yuzvendra Chahal delivery to India wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant. The umpire, however, didn't lift the finger and even the Team India players seemed unsure of whether there was an outside edge.

"On A Scale Of 10, I Give Him...": Sunil Gavaskar Rates Rohit Sharma's 1st Match As Full-Time India White-Ball Captain

Rohit Sharma began his tenure as full-time Team India white-ball captain with a six-wicket victory over the West Indies in the first ODI of their three-game series at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Chasing a target of 177 runs, Rohit registered a half-century to help his side reach 178 for four in 28 overs. The swashbuckling batter received plenty of praise from former India captain Sunil Gavaskar, who also rated his performance "on a scale of 10". Speaking on Star Sports, he said, "This is the kind of perfect start he wanted. Even before that he tossed the coin in such a way that Pollard called it wrong. So you got to remember that right from the beginning he got it right. Therefore with a win like this it is always a good start and he contributed to the win; in terms of scoring with what is your specialty, that is batting."

1000th ODI: India coast to six-wicket victory against West Indies

India tick the right boxes, go 1-0 up in seriesIn 15 ODIs before Sunday, the West Indies had been bowled out before their full quota of overs nine times. Sunday, India's historic 1000th ODI at the Narendra Modi stadium in Ahmedabad turned out to be the 10th. For a team that was coming from a high of beating England in the T20 series at home, it was a disappointing performance as there were too many soft dismissals as they crashed to 176 all out in 43.5 overs. That total too was possible largely to the skill of the highly dependable Jason Holder and the application shown by Fabian Allen, who rescued them with a 78-run stand from a perilous 79 for 7, on a dryish but decent surface. AS IT HAPPENEDThe hosts, led by a breezy 60 from Rohit Sharma, who did everything right, including winning the toss, got home in 28 overs with six wickets to spare. Apart from a chaotic four-ball spell where a hyper-aggressive Virat Kohli got two boundaries, and got bounced once before miscuing a hook to deep square-leg off the pacy Alzarry Joseph, who had dismissed Rohit earlier in the over by trapping him leg-before off a delivery that hurried him, the chase never looked out of control.

India vs West Indies: Slow and steady works for Yuzvendra Chahal

Yuzvendra Chahal was left out of the T20 World Cup squad in favour of Rahul Chahar, the ostensible reason given for his exclusion was the slower speed that he bowled at. "You want a spinner who can bowl with more speed. Recently we have seen Rahul Chahar bowling with speed. Our view was we need a spinner who can find the grip off the surface at a quicker speed and while we had a lot of discussion on Chahal, we eventually went with Rahul Chahar." These were chief selector and former India pacer Chetan Sharma's words.

There were challenges but my only aim was to improve as player which is in my control: Washington Sundar

Washington Sundar has had to endure a painful five months away from the game due to a finger injury but the lanky Tamil Nadu off-spinner in his own admission, used the time off to get better as a cricketer as that was all he could control. Washington missed out on the T20 World Cup but Ravichandran Ashwin's underwhelming show in white-ball games and subsequent ouster brought him back in the mix as he made his international return with 3/30 against West Indies in first ODI.

Challenge yourself, be innovative: New ODI skipper Rohit's advice to his players

Rohit Sharma on Sunday urged his players to be innovative and challenge themselves after he began his new innings as white-ball captain with a six-wicket thrashing of the West Indies in the first ODI here. Returning to action after recovering from a hamstring injury, Rohit hit a 51-ball 60 as India chased down 176 in 28 overs for a comfortable win in India's 1000th ODI. "We want to keep getting better as a team. The end goal is we should be able to achieve what the team wants. If the team requires us to do something different, we have to do it. Don't think we have to change a lot," Rohit said during the post-match presentation. "All I ask from players is to keep challenging themselves and be a little more innovative and try different things, so that when situation arises guys are up for it."
