Done with the pre-match rituals and it's now time for play to commence as former Indian cricketer, Chetan Sharma rings the bell. Kyle Mayers and Brandon King are set to open the innings for West Indies. Bhuvneshwar Kumar is raring to go with the new ball but first, the Windies players take the knee to show their support for the BLM movement as the Indian players join them by putting a hand to their heart. Let's play...

We are moments away from play! The players stride out to the middle for their respective national anthems. It will be the West Indies national anthem first followed by the national anthem of India.

Ishan Kishan is in for a chat. He says, the bidding hangover is done and adds Rahul Dravid sir helped them to get their focus back on the series. Mentions, he is the happiest when he opens the innings, but with the situation in the side he is happy to play in whichever order he is required. Mentions, the thought of cementing a spot in the T20I World Cup squad do cross his mind but says, the skipper and the coach have given them plenty of freedom to express themselves on the field.

Kieron Pollard says that toss is 50-50 and you gotta bat and bat well. He says that he had a slight niggle but feels fine now. He mentions that they try to stay in the present and he is happy for guys who got picked up in the auction but now this is the series that matters and wants to focus on that. Informs that Holder got hit in practice and Chase will take his spot. He adds that it is a high-scoring ground but cannot quite comment on what a par score might be.

Rohit Sharma says they will bowl first here. Says, he does not want to comment much on the pitch as it has always behaved differently. Mentions, they just need to keep ticking the boxes as the T20 World Cup comes closer. Adds, playing with a side like West Indies will always keep them on their toes. Says, Ishan will open the batting and Ravi Bishnoi is set to make his T20I debut.

West Indies (Playing XI) - Kyle Mayers, Brandon King, Nicholas Pooran (WK), Rovman Powell, Kieron Pollard (C), Roston Chase, Fabian Allen, Romario Shepherd, Odean Smith, Akeal Hosein and Sheldon Cottrell.

India (Playing XI) - Rohit Sharma (C), Ishan Kishan, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant (WK), Venkatesh Iyer, Deepak Chahar, Harshal Patel, Ravi Bishnoi (On debut), Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Yuzvendra Chahal.

TOSS - Up goes the flip of the coin and it lands in favour of India. They have decided to BOWL first.

PITCH REPORT - Deep Dasgupta is alongside Ajit Agarkar. DDS says that square boundaries are a bit shorter but the straight boundaries are fairly big. Ajit says that the pitch is firm and it's a good batting surface and that's why teams like to chase here. He adds that dew will be a big factor because the lack of it will cause the wicket to slow down and the spinners might have fun later on but either way, win the toss and chase.

Early scenes from the ground show that young spinner Ravi Bishnoi is receiving his first senior Indian cap and it's Yuzvendra Chahal who presents it to him. Certainly, a proud moment for Bishnoi to make his debut tonight and he will be raring to go with the ball.

The Windies' batting was well below par in the 50-over series but the shortest form of the game is where they are the Kings. They might not have that golden generation of T20I cricketers anymore but are always a threat given the power-hitting they possess. All eyes will be on Odean Smith and the visitors will hope his good form continues. We might also see the return of West Indies skipper Kieron Pollard who missed the majority of the ODI series. Will the Windies be able to get their first win of the tour? Or will the hosts continue to dominate? We'll find out soon. Toss and team news in a bit.

India won the ODI series 3-0 hardly breaking a sweat and since that clean sweep, we've also had the Indian T20 League auction. Lots of players going for big money and one of them was Shreyas Iyer, who was prolific in the final ODI and was bought by the Kolkata franchise. Earlier today it was announced that he will lead the Kolkata side and he will eager to make a name for himself at the franchise's home stadium, Eden Gardens. Ishan Kishan also fetched a large sum of money and might be opening the innings tonight alongside the skipper. Rishabh Pant will play second fiddle to Rohit Sharma given the absence of KL Rahul and India will look to repeat the trick from the ODI series.

Hello and a warm welcome to the first of three T20I matches between India and West Indies live from the Eden Gardens stadium in Kolkata. After a brief break from the ODI series, the two sides turn their focus to the shortest format of the game and the visitors will be looking to reverse the heavy defeat that they suffered in the ODI series with a win here tonight.
