  • Player of the Match
    Ravi Bishnoi
    2/17(4)
Right then! That is all we have from this match. The second match of the series will be played on the same ground on the 18th of February. That match will begin at 7 pm IST (1.30 pm GMT). India have a 1-0 lead and will be looking to seal the series. Whereas West Indies will be looking to bounce back and take it to a decider. Do join us then. Goodbye and take care!
Ravi Bishnoi wins the Man of the Match award for his exceptional spell with the ball on debut. He says, his nerves have settled in by now. Mentions, he is really happy to represent India in the T20I format. Adds, he was just aiming to bowl stump to stump but he erred in lines several times and would hope to improve the same in the next game. Adds, he hasn’t played a game with dew on the ball. Adds it is a dream come true to win the Player of the Match on debut.
Rohit Sharma, the Indian captain says that they should have finished it off sooner but trying to do things a bit different didn't work out well. He adds that the bowlers were brilliant to restrict such a good batting side to a modest total and admits that they were not clinical enough with the bat. He mentions that Ravi Bishnoi is a real talent and that is why he has been drafted into the side and can bowl anywhere, this also helps to rotate the bowlers. He also mentions that someone like Shreyas Iyer is sitting out which is a bit hard on him but Venkatesh Iyer just gives them the extra option with the ball at the moment. He also mentions that all the guys are great professionals and they understand that they need to remain patient for their opportunities and the coaching staff is clear enough to tell them that the ones who are in form will get a run of games in order to maintain that momentum. About Kishan, he says that it's their job to make sure that they do not put too much pressure on his shoulders.
West Indies skipper, Kieron Pollard says, it was a good game of cricket. To take the game down to the 19th over that feels good. Adds, they were like 20 to 30 runs short and were hurt majorly in the Powerplay. Adds, they need to play well as they progress. Adds, they will continue to work on the errors. Says, he wants his bowlers to be fresh and hopefully have a good impact on the next game.
Time for the Presentation...
Suryakumar Yadav is up for a quick chat. He says looking at the dew, he had a chat with Pant in the dugout and noticed the ball is running faster when hit squarer of the wicket. Adds, he asked Iyer to play good shots and have intent and is really happy with the way he played. Says he thinks the opposition spinners bowled really well but later due to the dew they were unable to get grip off the surface.
West Indies seemed to be 20 runs or so short to begin with and with the dew coming into play, it was always going to be a tough ask for their bowlers. This was true, at least for the Powerplay as the pacers were hammered all around the park by Rohit Sharma. The first over of spin from Akeal Hosein too proved to be expensive but then Roston Chase came on and he picked up the Indian skipper. After that, both spinners bowled in tandem and kept on stemming the flow of runs. Kishan and Kohli too fell to the spinners and the Windies started to believe. This belief was shattered as Suryakumar Yadav hit the boundaries at the right times for the opposition and ended Windies hopes. They will now look to put on a better batting performance in the next match and will look to better their death bowling as well.
After that early blitz from Rohit Sharma, India looked to be chasing the target down with overs to spare. It was not the case though as after Sharma fell, things got slowed down. Ishan Kishan did make 35 runs but they came at a struggle and he failed to build on it. Kohli was dismissed shortly after Kishan and suddenly the required rate was rising up. Suryakumar Yadav though remained fairly calm and along with the inexperienced Venkatesh Iyer, made sure that the scoreboard kept ticking over and the bad balls were sent to the fence. This 48-run stand was the difference and India won the contest with 7 balls to spare.
India looked to be in a bit of jeopardy but have managed to get over the line in the end and go 1-0 up in the three-match series thanks to a brilliant partnership between Suryakumar Yadav and Venkatesh Iyer. A top effort from the West Indies bowlers but in the end, they go home empty-handed yet again.

Sheldon Cottrell To Rishabh Pant OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Rishabh Pant is livid with himself and he should be! Banged into the deck, slower and on the body. Pant swivels back and looks to lift it over short fine leg but there's no pace on the ball to work with. Pant ends up getting it off the top edge and the ball loops up towards short fine leg. Odean Smith takes a dolly and out comes the 'salute send-off' from Sheldon Cottrell. 44 required off 33 balls. Can the Windies pull off the unthinkable?

OUT! TAKEN! This game has turned on its head in a space of four deliveries! Nicely flighted, around off. Virat Kohli uses his feet to get to the pitch of the ball but doesn't go through with the shot. He just tries to caress the ball and ends up lifting it straight towards the man at the long off fence. Kieron Pollard takes the simplest of catches and Fabian Allen has done the trick for his team. Two set batters dismissed and West Indies will now believe.

OUT! TAKEN! 'Catch it' is the call and Roston Chase winds up a brilliant spell with his second wicket of the night. Chase angles it on a length and into leg side. Ishan Kishan gets cramped for room and hence looks to use the depth of the crease to muscle it across. Kishan pulls it flat and the ball goes straight down the throat of the fielder at the mid-wicket fence. Fabian Allen, one of the best fielders in the world isn't going to drop that one. Ishan Kishan's troubled stay at the crease comes to an end. 65 still needed off 48 balls.

Akeal Hosein To Ishan Kishan
The early call is for two but it will only be a single. Kishan makes room leg side and Hosein follows him. Kishan works it towards deep mid-wicket for just a single.
DRINKS! The required run rate was a shade under 8 rpo and has remained almost the same. Rohit Sharma was deadly at the start and took on the pacers. Since his wicket though, the spinners have put a hold on to the free-flowing Indian innings. Ishan Kishan has remained at the crease but hasn't looked at his best. Along with Kohli, Kishan will be looking to put on a stand that puts his side in the driver's seat. Roston Chase has been exceptional but the spinners have just two overs left and the Windies need their pacers to fire now if they are to win this game.
