Chahal also achieved the milestone of 100 ODI wickets. "It is a nice feeling, my career has seen ups and downs. I have managed to get 100 wickets in ODIs, it is a big moment. Did not think that I will achieve the feat early in my career. I have changed my angles. Other bowlers used to bowl side-arm, so I (toO) worked on that when I was not in the team," Chahal told skipper Rohit Sharma in a video posted on BCCI.TV.

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.
