Watch: "No Shortage Of Action And Emotions": Rahul Dravid Looks Quite Animated During 1st ODI

The Indian cricket team has taken a 1-0 lead in the three-match series against West Indies after a close three-run win in Port of Spain on Saturday. After the visitors set a target 309 for West Indies, the hosts were reduced to 196/5 by the 37th over. However, Brandon King (54), Akeal Hosain (34*) and Romarioi Shepherd (39*) played crucial knocks as the match was decided in the last over. West Indies needed fives runs to win off the ball but Shepherd could take only one run (bye) off Mohammed Siraj.

With the match going to the last over, the Indian camp could not keep calm. In a video posted by the BCCI with the caption "No Shortage Of Action And Emotions!", it can be seen that head coach Rahul Dravid and other members of the Indian squad are quite animated.

In the match, Shikhar Dhawan made a well crafted 97 while Shubmam Gill made a classy 64 in his ODI comeback before India held their nerves to pull off a three-run win over the West Indies in the series opener. Openers Dhawan (97 off 99 balls) and Gill (64 off 53) shared an 119-run stand before the West Indies fought back to restrict India to 308 for seven.

The West Indies needed 15 off the final over for a record chase at Queens Park Oval but Mohammed Siraj was able to stop a rampaging Romario Shepherd (38 not out off 25).

At the top of order, Kyle Mayers (75 off 68) and Shamarh Brooks (46 off 61) raised West Indies' hopes with an 117-run stand for the second wicket before Brandon King (54 off 66) took the game deep. In the end, the West Indies fell short and ended at 305 for six.
