In the 1000th ODI match, India beat West Indies by 6 wickets to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium.
India had a strong start to the 177-run chase, with Rohit Sharma batting strongly for a 51-ball 60 that included 10 fours and a six. Before Alzarri Joseph trapped the Indian captain in front, India had scored 84 runs in 13 overs.
Virat Kohli hit an amazing eight-run knock in four balls, scoring two boundaries (the first from an edge) on the first two balls. Kohli attempted to hook the ball on the fourth ball and was caught at the boundary.
Soon after, Ishan Kishan, who had been slowly collecting his 28 runs, attempted to hit one but was caught, and Rishabh Pant was unlucky to be run out in the next over, as India lost four wickets with 60 runs still needed.
Suryakumar Yadav and Deepak Hooda, both internationals, came up big and secured India's success.
India's new One-Day International captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and chose to bowl first. India got off to a flying start when Mohammad Siraj bowled Shai Hope in the third over. Throughout the powerplay, Indian bowlers were dead on, as West Indies could only manage 39 runs in the first ten overs.
In his first ODI since 2017, Washington Sundar got his first wicket in the 11th over, catching Brandon King at mid-wicket. Sundar also caught Darren Bravo in front in the same over.
Yuzvendra Chahal was entered in the 20th over and made an immediate impact by dismissing Nicholas Pooran and Kieron Pollard in his first over alone. Chahal's 100th ODI wicket came from Pooran.
Chahal dismissed Shamarh Brooks in the next over, and Prasidh Krishna dismissed Akeal Hosein in the next over, dropping West Indies to 79/7.
Jason Holder and Fabian Allen paired up to rebuild the West Indian innings and help the squad reach a decent score. As West Indies passed the 150-run mark, the duo added 78 off 91 balls.
Allen was removed after scoring 29 runs off 43 balls, as Washington Sundar ended the partnership for the second time. Jason Holder, who hit 57 from 71 balls with four sixes, was dismissed by Prasidh Krishna.
In 43.5 overs, the West Indies were bowled out for 176, with Yuzvendra Chahal taking the final wicket. In his 9.5 overs, Chahal finished with 4/49, Sundar with 3/30, Prasidh with 2/29, and Siraj with one wicket.
