New Delhi: India vs West Indies 1st ODI of the three-match series is being played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Virat Kohli, who is no longer the captain, is playing under Rohit Sharma's captaincy for the first time ever. Also, Ind vs WI 1st ODI is Rohit Sharma's first game ever as India's limited-overs skipper. India won the toss and decided to bowl first in their historic 1000th ODI match.
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli's bromance also has been a point of discussion in this ODI. Rumours about rift between the duo do rounds time and again but they have put an end to all such baseless speculations by displaying their bond and friendship during the first ODI against West Indies.
During the match, India had managed to put themselves in command with leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal taking in-form Nicholas Pooran's wicket in the very first over of his spell. After Pooran's departure, West Indies were four wickets down and they required their captain and senior player Kieron Pollard to come out and steady their team's sinking ship.
However, Chahal got the better of the West Indies captain Pollard as the Indian spinner stunned him with a superb googly which ultimately triggered bug celebration in the Indian camp.
Notably, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma were spotted giving a high-five to each other. The video went viral on social media.
