India vs West Indies 1st ODI Result

Virat Kohli scored an unbeaten 139, while Shubman Gill made 110. Their 151-run partnership helped India complete an eight-wicket victory with 50 balls remaining.
The result gave India a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
Virat Kohli in Focus
Virat Kohli will be one of the biggest attractions in the second ODI.
In the opening match, Kohli scored his 55th ODI century and also crossed the landmark of 15,000 ODI runs, becoming only the second batter after Sachin Tendulkar to reach that milestone.
His performance in the first ODI has added further interest to the Guwahati match.
Shubman Gill’s Role
India captain Shubman Gill also made a major contribution in the opening ODI.
Gill scored 110 runs from 108 balls, combining with Kohli for a 151-run partnership. His innings provided stability after India’s early opening partnership.
Gill will again be expected to lead India’s batting in the second ODI.
Kuldeep Yadav Key Player for India
Kuldeep Yadav was one of India’s most effective bowlers in the first ODI.
West Indies had reached 135 without losing a wicket, but Kuldeep changed the momentum by taking four wickets for 40 runs. His wickets included John Campbell, Shai Hope, Justin Greaves and Jewel Andrew.
His spin could again be important in Guwahati, particularly during the middle overs.
