New Delhi:

Virat Kohli's Indian cricket team has won the toss and they will bowl. West Indies started off poorly when Washington Sundar struck in the first over while Evin Lewis was snapped up by Bhuvneshwar Kumar for 0. West Indies lost wickets at regular intervals and Kieron Pollard played an aggressive knock. The right-hander struck sixes at will but he found no support from the other end. Pollard ended on 49 and Navdeep Saini took 3/17 as West Indies were restricted to 95/9 after the end of 20 overs. Rohit Sharma scored 24 but India lost wickets at regular intervals but they were guided by some good knocks from Manish Pandey and Virat Kohli to help India win by four wickets and take a 1-0 lead in the series.

18:55 hrs IST: The last time India played in Florida was in 2016. The first match was a high-scoring humdinger and India almost chased down 246 thanks to a KL Rahul century but MS Dhoni failed to get eight runs in the final over bowled by Dwayne Bravo as West Indies won by one run. In the next match, a farce played out with the match starting 40 minutes late due to a satellite problem and when the rain came, the match was abandoned as there was no supersopper.

18:41 hrs IST: After close to a month ever since the hurt of August 9, Virat Kohli's Indian cricket team are all set to resume battle. The World Cup loss to New Zealand is now the past. It is now time to enter the new era with the tour of the West Indies.
