West Indies' T20I vice-captain Nicholas Pooran has said that Jason Holder seems fine and he should be available for the second T20I against India. Ravi Bishnoi's two-wicket haul was backed up by quality knocks by Rohit Sharma (40) and Suryakumar Yadav (34*) as India defeated West Indies by six wickets in the first T20I here at the Eden Gardens on Wednesday.
Ravi Bishnoi was looking for when he came running around from long-off to take a well-judged catch of Nicholas Pooran, but sadly he touched the boundary rope while back-tracking to maintain the body balance. But the youngster was quick to get over that disappointment and made a telling impact in his debut international match. He ended up with two for 17 in his four overs — and was named 'Man of the Match' — to help India restrict West Indies to 157 for seven after skipper Rohit Sharma won the toss and put the opposition in at the start of the first T20I here on Wednesday. The skipper later laid the foundation for Suryakumar Yadav and Venkatesh Iyer to end it in style as India recorded a six-wicket victory, reaching 162 for four in 18.5 overs. Bishnoi, who became the first member of India U-19 2020 World Cup squad to make the senior team debut, struggled a bit with his line and length, bowling six wides also. But he kept attacking the batters that fetched him rich dividends.
Suryakumar Yadav has smacked an unbeaten 34 off 18 balls to guide India to victory over the West Indies by six wickets in the first match of their Twenty20 series.
